SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA

requirements to ensure the check pilots and instructors are adequately 
trained and checked/evaluated to ensure they are capable and competent 
to perform the duties and responsibilities required by the air carrier 
to meet the regulations. Experienced pilots who would otherwise qualify 
as flight instructors or check airmen, but who may not medically 
eligible to hold the requisite medical certificate are mandated to keep 
records that may be inspected by the FAA to certify eligibility to 
perform flight instructor or check airmen functions.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by August 4, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
