The Working Group will be 

comprised of aviation professionals 

with experience and expertise in airman 

training and testing, and technical 

experts having an interest in the 

assigned new task. The FAA would like 

a wide range of members to ensure that 

all aspects of airman testing and 

training, including best practices, are 

considered in the development of its 

recommendations. 

If you wish to become a member of 

the Working Group, please write the

expressing such desire. Describe your 

interest in the new task and state the 

expertise you would bring to the 

Working Group. We must receive all 

requests by October 2, 2012. 

The ARAC Executive Committee and 

the FAA will review the requests and 

advise you whether your request is 

approved. 

If you are chosen for membership on 

the Working Group, you must actively 

participate by attending all meetings 

and providing written comments when 

requested to do so. You must devote the 

resources necessary to support the 

Working Group in meeting any assigned 

deadlines. You must keep your 

management chain, and those you may 

represent, advised of the Working 

Group’s activities and decisions to 

ensure the proposed technical solutions 

do not conflict with your sponsoring 

organization’s position, when the 

subject is presented to ARAC for 

approval. Once the Working Group has 

begun deliberations, members will not 

be added or substituted without the 

approval of the FAA and the Working 

Group chair. 

The Secretary of Transportation 

determined the formation and use of 

ARAC is necessary and in the public 

interest in connection with the 

performance of duties imposed on the 

FAA by law. ARAC meetings are open 

to the public. However, ARAC Working 

Group’s meetings are not open to the 

public, except to the extent individuals 

with an interest and expertise are 

selected to attend. The FAA will make 

no public announcement of the Working 

Group’s meetings.
