Title: Pilot Certification and Qualification Requirements for Air
Carrier Operations.
Form Numbers: 8700-1.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: FAA aviation safety inspectors (ASIs) review the
Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) Certification Training Program (CTP)
submissions to determine whether the program complies with the
applicable requirements of 14 CFR 61.156. The programs that comply with
the minimum requirements receive approval to begin offering the course
to applicants for an ATP certificate with a multiengine class rating or
an ATP certificate obtained concurrently with an airplane type rating.
FAA ASIs also review educational institutions' application for
authority to certify that graduates meet the minimum requirements of 14
CFR 61.160. The institutions that receive letters of authorization for
their degree programs are authorized to place a certifying statement on
a graduate's transcript indicating he or she is eligible for a
restricted-privileges ATP certificate.
Respondents: 5,523.
Frequency: 1 Time per Year.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 14 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 1,329 Hours.
Issued in Washington, DC, on February 11, 2026.
