Abstract

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to reinstate an information collection. The collection involves requirements which are necessary to ensure safety-of-flight by ensuring that complete and adequate training, testing, checking, and experience is obtained and maintained by those who operate under certain parts of FAA's regulations and use flight simulation in lieu of aircraft for these functions. This collection is being reinstated due to delays caused by the government shutdown and changeover of personnel.

Aviation Administration (FAA) to prescribe standards applicable to the

ensure that those who must comply with Title 14 CFR part 61, part 63,

collection also helps to ensure safety-of-flight by ensuring those who 
operate under these parts of the regulation and use flight simulation 
in lieu of aircraft for these functions, receive and maintain complete 
and adequate training, testing, checking, and experience. The FAA will 
use the information it collects and reviews to ensure compliance and 
adherence to regulations and, where necessary, to take enforcement 
action on violators of the regulations.
