Appendix G G-1 APPENDIX G. FORMS G.1 Overview and Use of FAA Form 8060-10, FAA Records Request (PRIA).

Note: Consult the Pilot Records Improvement Act of 1996 (PRIA) website at https://www.faa.gov/pilots/lic_cert/pria/forms_docs for the most current information on the overview and use of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Form 8060-10.

1. Part I, FAA Records Request (PRIA). The hiring air carrier in operation under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 121 or 135, air operator under 14 CFR part 125, or other person (collectively referred to as the “hiring employer”) uses part I to request certain pilot records as maintained by the FAA. The resulting report from the FAA is generally referred to as the PRIA Pilot Profile Letter and will include information reflecting the pilot-applicant’s:

a. Current airman medical certificate, including:

(1) Date of issue,

(2) Class, and

(3) Any limitations that may apply.

b. Current airman certificate(s), including:

(1) Date of issue,

(2) Category and class ratings,

(3) Associated type ratings, and

(4) Any limitations to those certificate(s) and ratings.

c. Records concerning the Enforcement Information System (EIS) and summary of legal enforcement action(s) resulting in a finding by the Administrator of a violation of Title 49 of the United States Code (49 U.S.C.), a regulation prescribed, or an order issued under this title that the FAA has not subsequently overturned, if applicable. If no EIS records exist for the pilot-applicant, a statement indicating a negative report will be included.

d. Current or previous certificate revocation(s), which will be reported for an indefinite period of time, if applicable.

e. Previous certificate number(s) and related information, if applicable.

2. Part II, Airman Consent for the Release of Records. The hiring employer uses part II to obtain written consent for the release of records from the individual who is the subject of the request.

Page 122Open in PDF

Appendix G G-2

3. Distribution. You, the hiring employer, should either mail or fax FAA Form 8060-10 to the Aviation Data Systems Branch for processing, then provide a copy to the pilot-applicant for his or her personal records.

a. Fax your completed records request to 405-954-4655, ATTN: PRIA.

b. Mail your completed records request to:

Federal Aviation Administration ATTN: Aviation Data Systems Branch (PRIA) P.O. Box 25082 Oklahoma City, OK 73125-0082

c. Mail completed records request, by expedited mail service, to:

Federal Aviation Administration ATTN: Aviation Data Systems Branch (PRIA) 6500 South MacArthur Blvd.

ARB Building, Room 313 Oklahoma City, OK 73169

4. Requestor. As the requestor of records under the authority of PRIA, you should develop and use a system to track all outstanding requests. After receiving the responses, organize them into a format that management can easily use to evaluate the pilot-applicant’s suitability for employment. The process is not complete until the requestor completes these activities.

5. Respondent. As the person receiving a records request under the authority of PRIA, you must furnish:

a. A copy of the appropriate records to the requestor no later than 30 calendar-days after receiving the request, as prescribed by 49 U.S.C. § 44703(h)(5).

b. An identical copy, if so requested, to the pilot-applicant on or before 20 calendar-days after receiving the request, as prescribed by 49 U.S.C.

§ 44703(h)(6).

c. A written notification to the pilot-applicant to satisfy 49 U.S.C. § 44703(h)(6) if the processing time will exceed 20 calendar-days. In other words, an additional document is required to provide written notification if your response time will be over 20 calendar-days. In no case can you take longer than the authorized 30-calendar-day period.

6. Instructions. Instructions for completing FAA Form 8060-10 are attached to the form itself. Overviews and information on using this form are also in the PRIA Office Procedures for the Air Carrier and on the PRIA website.

7. The Form. There are two online sources for FAA Form 8060-10:

• https://www.faa.gov/pilots/lic_cert/pria/forms_docs.

• https://www.faa.gov/forms.

G.2 Overview and Use of FAA Form 8060-10A, Airman Notice and Right to Receive Copy – FAA Records (PRIA).

Note: Consult the Pilot Records Improvement Act of 1996 (PRIA) website at https://www.faa.gov/pilots/lic_cert/pria/forms_docs for the most current information on the overview and use of FAA Form 8060-10A.

1. Part I, Airman Notice and Right to Receive Copy. The hiring air carrier in operation under 14 CFR part 121 or 135, air operator under 14 CFR part 125, or other person (collectively referred to as the “hiring employer”) uses part I to:

a. Notify the pilot-applicant that the FAA will conduct a records request under PRIA.

b. Notify the pilot-applicant of their right to receive a copy of the records furnished by the FAA to the requesting air carrier.

2. Part II, Airman Request or Non- Request for Records. The pilot-applicant uses part II to notify the FAA whether or not they want a copy of the records that the FAA will furnish to the requesting employer.

3. Distribution. A completed and signed copy of FAA Form 8060-10A serves as a written notification to the airman in accordance with 49 U.S.C. § 44703(h)(6). In lieu of forwarding FAA Form 8060-10A to the FAA, if the hiring employer provides the pilot-applicant with initial notification of a records request by providing him or her with a completed and signed copy of FAA Form 8060-10A, further distribution of FAA Form 8060-10A is not required. The hiring employer needs to forward only FAA Form 8060-10, FAA Records Request (PRIA), to the FAA to request records.

The hiring employer then files and maintains the original FAA Form 8060-10A in the pilot-applicant’s PRIA-related records file for future company reference and surveillance by the FAA.

Note: The FAA will provide all pilots/applicants, regardless of whether they indicated a preference to receive a copy of their records, with a courtesy copy of their PRIA Background Report that the FAA maintains and furnishes to the hiring employer. For security purposes, all FAA records will be mailed to the individual’s existing address as maintained in FAA records by the Airmen Certification Branch.

4. Requestor. As the requestor of records under the authority of PRIA, you should develop and use a system to track all outstanding requests. After receiving the responses, organize them into a format that management can easily use to evaluate the

Page 124Open in PDF

Appendix G G-4 pilot-applicant’s suitability for employment. The process is not complete until the requestor has completed these activities.

5. Respondent. As the person receiving a records request under the authority of PRIA, you must furnish:

a. A copy of the appropriate records to the requestor no later than 30 calendar- days after receiving the request, as prescribed by 49 U.S.C. § 44703(h)(5).

b. An identical copy, if so requested, to the pilot-applicant on or before 20 calendar-days after receiving the request, as prescribed by 49 U.S.C.

§ 44703(h)(6).

c. A written notification to the pilot-applicant to satisfy 49 U.S.C. § 44703(h)(6) if the processing time will exceed 20 calendar-days. In other words, an additional document is required to provide written notification if your response time will be over 20 calendar-days. In no case can you take longer than the authorized 30-calendar-day period.

6. Instructions. Instructions for completing FAA Form 8060-10A are attached to the form itself. Overviews and information on using this form are also in the PRIA Office Procedures for the Air Carrier and on the PRIA website.

G.3 Overview and Use of FAA Form 8060-11, Air Carrier and Other Records Request (PRIA).

Note: Consult the Pilot Records Improvement Act of 1996 (PRIA) website at https://www.faa.gov/pilots/lic_cert/pria/forms_docs for the most current information on the overview and use of FAA Form 8060-11.

1. Part I, Air Carrier and Other Records Request (PRIA). The hiring air carrier in operation under 14 CFR part 121 or 135, air operator under 14 CFR part 125, or other person (collectively referred to as the “hiring employer”) uses part I to request certain pilot records. A previous employer that used the individual as a pilot at any time during the 5-year period preceding the date on the employment application of the individual or the trustee in bankruptcy for such operator maintains these records.

Title 49 U.S.C. § 44703(h)(1)(B) identifies and references the records that a previous employer must provide.

2. Part II, Airman Consent for the Release of Records. The hiring emplo yer uses part II to obtain written consent for the release of the records from the individual who is the subject of the request.

Page 125Open in PDF

Appendix G G-5

3. Distribution. The hiring employer either mails or faxes FAA Form 8060-11 to all previous employers that used the applicant as a pilot at any time during the previous 5-year period. The hiring employer should then provide a copy to the pilot-applicant for that individual’s personal records.

4. Exceptions. Certain exceptions may apply that would either not require the hiring employer to comply with the statutes of PRIA, or could allow an amended request procedure. To foster the most efficient use of its personnel and flight operations, the hiring employer should be familiar with all exceptions that may apply. These exceptions are:

a. Operations expressly excluded from air carrier certification requirements under 14 CFR part 119, § 119.1(e). These, and certain other 14 CFR part 91 operators, are not required to request pilot records under PRIA. However, if they receive a request under PRIA, they are required to furnish such records that they may have maintained on the individual who is the subject of the request. If the former employer did not maintain the records, it would return a brief letter stating such to the requestor to allow it to complete the request process.

b. Pilots of certain small aircraft, as described in 49 U.S.C. § 44703(h)(14)(A).

c. Good faith exception, as described in 49 U.S.C. § 44703(h)(14)(B).

5. Inappropriate Records. The respondent should not include records that are not relevant to the individual’s performance as a pilot in the transmission to the requestor.

For example, an agreement between the pilot and employer to pay for training, personal bankruptcy papers, or unemployment compensation disputes between a pilot and employer are not considered appropriate to the individual’s performance as a pilot.

6. Requestor. As the requestor of records under the authority of PRIA, you should develop and use a system to track all outstanding requests. After receiving the responses, organize them into a format that management can easily use to evaluate the pilot-applicant’s suitability for employment. The process is not complete until the requestor has completed these activities.

7. Respondent. As the person receiving a records request under the authority of PRIA, you must furnish:

a. A copy of the appropriate records to the requestor no later than 30 calendar-days after receiving the request, as prescribed by 49 U.S.C. § 44703(h)(5).

b. An identical copy, if so requested, to the pilot-applicant on or before 20 calendar-days after receiving the request, as prescribed by 49 U.S.C.

§ 44703(h)(6).

c. A written notification to the pilot-applicant to satisfy 49 U.S.C. § 44703(h)(6) if the processing time will exceed 20 calendar-days. In other words, an additional

Page 126Open in PDF

Appendix G G-6 document is required to provide written notification if your response time will be over 20 calendar-days. In no case can you take longer than the authorized 30-calendar-day period.

8. Instructions. Instructions for completing FAA Form 8060-11 are attached to the form itself. Overviews and information on using this form are also in the PRIA Office Procedures for the Air Carrier and on the PRIA website.

9. Reasonable Charges. The former employer furni shing records as the result of a request under PRIA may assess a reasonable charge from the records requestor and from the individual who is the subject of the request, provided he or she has requested an identical copy of the records.

10. The Form. There are two online sources for FAA Form 8060-11:

• https://www.faa.gov/pilots/lic_cert/pria/forms_docs.

• https://www.faa.gov/forms.

G.4 Overview and Use of FAA Form 8060-11A, Airman Notice and Right to Receive Copy – Air Carrier and Other Records (PRIA).

Note: Consult the Pilot Records Improvement Act of 1996 (PRIA) website at https://www.faa.gov/pilots/lic_cert/pria/forms_docs for the most current information on the overview and use of FAA Form 8060-11A.

1. Part I, Airman Notice and Right to Receive Copy. The hiring air carrier in operation under 14 CFR part 121 or 135, air operator under 14 CFR part 125, or other person (collectively referred to as the “hiring employer”) that has used the individual as a pilot at any time during the 5-year period preceding the date on the employment application uses part I to notify that individual:

a. That any previous employer will conduct a PRIA records request for pilot- related air carrier records.

b. Of that pilot’s right to receive a copy of the records furnished by the previous employer to the requesting employer.

2. Part II, Airman Request or Non- Request for Records. The pilot-applicant uses part II to notify the previous employer(s) whether they want a copy of the records that the previous employer will furnish to the requesting employer.

3. Distribution.

a. Unlike FAA Form 8060-10A, Airman Notice and Right to Receive Copy – FAA Records (PRIA), when using the FAA forms, completing FAA Form 8060-11A is mandatory. If the pilot-applicant wishes to receive a copy of all air carrier and other records as permitted by 49 U.S.C. § 44703(h)(6) and has checked the “yes”

Page 127Open in PDF

Appendix G G-7 box on FAA Form 8060-11A, the previous employers must make two sets, one for the requestor and one for the individual, and mail each one separately.

b. The hiring employer should attach FAA Form 8060-11A to FAA Form 8060-11, Air Carrier and Other Records Request (PRIA), and either mail or fax them to all employers that previously employed the applicant as a pilot at any time during the previous 5-year period. The hiring employer should then provide a copy to the pilot-applicant for that individual’s personal records.

4. Exceptions. Certain exceptions may apply that would either not require the hiring employer to comply with the statutes of PRIA, or could allow an amended request procedure. To foster the most efficient use of its personnel and flight operations, the hiring employer should be familiar with all exceptions that may apply. These exceptions are:

a. Operations expressly excluded from air carrier certification requirements under 14 CFR part 119, § 119.1(e). These, and certain other 14 CFR part 91 operators, are not required to request pilot records under PRIA. However, if they receive a request under PRIA, they are required to furnish such records that they may have maintained on the individual who is the subject of the request. If the former employer did not maintain any records, it returns a brief letter stating such to the requestor to allow it to complete the request process.

b. Pilots of certain small aircraft, as described in 49 U.S.C. § 44703(h)(14)(A).

c. Good faith exception, as described in 49 U.S.C. § 44703(h)(14)(B).

5. Requestor. As the requestor of records under the authority of PRIA, you should develop and use a system to track all outstanding requests. After receiving the responses, organize them into a format that management can easily use to evaluate the pilot-applicant’s suitability for employment. The process is not complete until the requestor has completed these activities.

6. Respondent. As the person receiving a records request under the authority of PRIA, you must furnish:

a. A copy of the appropriate records to the requestor no later than 30 calendar- days after receiving the request, as prescribed by 49 U.S.C. § 44703(h)(5).

b. An identical copy, if so requested, to the pilot-applicant on or before 20 calendar-days after receiving the request, as prescribed by 49 U.S.C.

§ 44703(h)(6).

c. A written notification to the pilot-applicant to satisfy 49 U.S.C. § 44703(h)(6) if the processing time will exceed 20 calendar-days. In other words, an additional document is required to provide written notification if your response time will be over 20 calendar-days. In no case can you take longer than the authorized 30-calendar-day period.

G.5 Overview and Use of FAA Form 8060-12, Authorization for Release of DOT Drug and Alcohol Testing Records Under PRIA and Maintained Under Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR) Part 40.

Note: Consult the Pilot Records Improvement Act of 1996 (PRIA) website at https://www.faa.gov/pilots/lic_cert/pria/forms_docs for the most current information on the overview and use of FAA Form 8060-12.

1. Part I, Records and Airman Consent for the Release of Records. The hiring air carrier in operation under 14 CFR part 121 or 135, an air tour operator as defined in 14 CFR part 91, § 91.147, or other person (collectively referred to as the “hiring employer”) uses part I to provide a list of specific drug and alcohol testing records that the previous employer will furnish through this request.

a. Send this form to previous employers that used the individual as a:

• Department of Transportation (DOT)-regulated employee subject to drug and alcohol testing under 14 CFR part 120 or Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR) part 40,

• Pilot at any time during the 5-year period preceding the date on the employment application, or

• Non-pilot safety-sensitive employee subject to drug and alcohol testing such as flight attendant or aircraft maintenance or preventive maintenance duties (unless you use the written release under 49 CFR part 40, § 40.25).

b. Use FAA Form 8060-12 to notify the individual:

• That an FAA records request under PRIA for certain DOT drug and alcohol testing records will be conducted.

• Of a request for certain DOT drug and alcohol testing records under PRIA concerning that individual.

Page 129Open in PDF

Appendix G G-9

• To obtain written consent for the release of such records from that individual who is the subject of the request.

• If the individual has requested a copy of the records, as indicated on FAA Form 8060-11A, Airman Notice and Right to Receive Copy – Air Carrier and Other Records (PRIA), any related DOT drug and alcohol testing records must be copied and included with other PRIA-related records as a result of that request.

2. Part II, Records to Provide. The hiring employer uses part II to provide a list of questions that the previous employer will complete and return to the hiring employer.

The previous employer(s) also use part II to document the existence of certain DOT drug and alcohol testing records that the previous employer(s) provides to the hiring employer. Consider the following guidelines when either requesting or providing DOT drug and alcohol testing records.

a. Any “no” response in part II of FAA Form 8060-12 still requires the previous employer(s) to furnish a copy of the appropriate negative drug or alcohol testing results for that respective question. To further clarify, previous employers must provide all test results, including both positive as well as negative DOT drug and alcohol testing results, from over the last 5 years to the requestor to comply with PRIA and 49 CFR part 40. Obtaining a copy of the form on the DOT website, where previous employers simply “check off” that there were no rule violations, is not acceptable.

b. In addition to obtaining records from all previous employers over t he last 5 years, the hiring employer must ask all applicants about their drug and alcohol testing history under DOT agency testing rules to satisfy 49 CFR § 40.25(j). Unlike the time period required under PRIA, this testing history obtained under 49 CFR § 40.25(j) covers a period of only two years. However, PRIA drug and alcohol testing records are not subject to the document retention conditions found in 49 CFR § 40.333. All PRIA records, including drug and alcohol testing records, are required by 49 U.S.C. § 44703(h)(4) to be maintained for at least 5 years.
