Pilot School Certification form and submitting this form to the Federal

certificate. We have revised the name of this information collection

Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including (a) whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d)
ways the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of the
collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include your
comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information
collection.
OMB Control Number: 2120-0009.
Title: Application for Pilot School Certification.
Form Numbers: 8420-8.
Type of Review: This is a renewal of an information collection.
Background: The information on FAA From 8420-8, Application for
Pilot School Certification, is required from applicants who wish
certification as a pilot school with the associated ratings, or who
wish to renew their pilot school certification. On previous renewals,
the title of this information collection and notice was ``Pilot
Schools--FAR 141''. We have revised the name of this information
collection as the term ``FAR'' is no longer used to reference aviation
regulations. Because of this change, and to add clarity, we are using
the name of the FAA form 8420-8, Application for Pilot School
Certification. Pilot schools are mandated to report information to the
FAA and to keep specific records. Pilot schools train private,
commercial, flight instructor, and airline transport pilots, along with
training for associated ratings in various types of aircraft. The FAA
form 8240-8 is necessary to assure continuing compliance with part 141,
renewal of pilot school certificates every 24 months, and for any
amendments to pilot school certificates.
The FAA is also making a burden adjustment to the number of pilot
schools. Currently, this number is 527. We estimate 31 new applications
for an original certification annually from applicants for a pilot
school certificate. We estimate 263 applications for renewal annually.
This figure represents approximately half of the current 527
certificated pilot schools.
Respondents: Respondents include new applications, renewals of the
pilot school certification, and amendments to an existing pilot school.
Frequency: Every 24 months certificated pilot schools must renew
their pilot school certification.
Estimated Average Burden per response: We anticipate 31 new
applications at a rate of 0.5 hours for a total of 15.5 hours. We also
anticipate 263 applications for renewals at a rate of 0.5 hours for a
total of 131.5 hours. Additionally, we estimate 20 applications for an
amendment to their pilot school certificate at a rate of 0.5 hours for
a total burden of 10.0 hours.
Estimated Total annual Burden: The cumulative total burden is
estimated to be 157 hours per year.
Issued in Washington, DC, on October 21, 2021.

Aviation Safety Inspector, Office of Safety Standards, General Aviation
and Commercial Division, Training and Certification Group.
