Question: What is the maximum age a pilot can fly an airplane? Answer: In the U.S., there are no FAA age limits for pilots except for commercial airline pilots employed by airlines certified under 14 CFR Part 121. These airlines cannot employ pilots after they reach the age of 60. However, these pilots may stay on with a Part 121 carrier in some other role, such as flight engineer. They can also fly for a company that is not a Part 121 carrier. Question: How do I get a copy of my FAA violations? Answer: Send your request to: FAA Aviation Data Systems Branch AFS-620 P.O. Box 25082 Oklahoma City, Ok. 73125 Or fax your request to (405) 954-4655. Question: What is a location identifier, or airport code, and where can I find the identifier for a particular airport? Answer: The FAA assigns location identifiers . They use three-letter or three-character identifiers for public-use airports and four-character identifiers for private-use airports on record with the FAA. In addition to airports, they also assign location identifiers to navigation aids, aviation weather reporting stations, manned air traffic control facilities, and other facilities. An airport’s location identifier often makes use of letters in the airport name or in the name of the associated city. For example, JFK is the location identifier for John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, and BOS is the identifier for Boston’s Logan International Airport. Some location identifiers, however, are more difficult to figure out. For example, Chicago O’Hare’s location identifier, ORD, refers to the former name of the airport—Orchard Field. O’Hare retained this location identifier because identifiers are considered permanent and nontransferable. Changes to location identifiers usually require strong and documented justification and generally occur only for reasons of air safety. If you want to learn more about the way the FAA assign these identifiers, see FAA Order 7350.7, Location Identifiers . You can request a hard copy of this document by contacting: The Superintendent of Documents U.S. Government Printing Office Mail Stop: SDE 732 N. Capitol Street, N.W.

Losing orientation during taxiing—for example: getting lost in good or poor visibility conditions. Communication errors—for example: misunderstanding the clearance and not asking for clarification from ATC, reading back ATC instructions incorrectly, or taking off or landing without a clearance from ATC.) For Vehicle Drivers and Pedestrians (authorized to be on the airfield) Not following acknowledged ATC instructions—for example: failing to hold short of a runway as instructed. Entering or crossing the runway without ATC authorization. Often a chain of events, not one action, causes a runway incursion. The actions of air traffic controllers, pilots, vehicle drivers and pedestrians are operationally linked. The actions of one impact the others.

Answer: General aviation operations conducted under 14 CFR Part 91 are not subject to flight and duty time and rest requirements, except flight instruction (14 CFR Section 61.195) and fractional ownership operations (14 CFR Part 91 Subpart K). Commercial crewmember flight time and duty period limitations and rest requirements are described in 14 CFR Part 135 Subpart F or 14 CFR Part 121, Subpart Q, Subpart R, or Subpart S, depending on the type of operation. Certificated air carriers and operators should contact their FAA principal inspector for further questions about flight and duty time and crew rest. Question: What are reasons for revoking or suspending a pilot certificate (license)? Answer: For a complete list of violations and penalties, refer to the FAA’s Enforcement Sanction Guidance Table. This table appears as Appendix 4 of FAA Order 2150.3A. However, the above link goes to all appendices of this Order, so you will need to scroll down to Appendix 4.

Commercial crewmember flight time and duty period limitations and rest requirements are described in 14 CFR Part 135 Subpart F or 14 CFR Part 121, Subpart Q, Subpart R, or Subpart S, depending on the type of operation. Certificated air carriers and operators should contact their FAA principal inspector for further questions about flight and duty time and crew rest. Question: What are reasons for revoking or suspending a pilot certificate (license)? Answer: For a complete list of violations and penalties, refer to the FAA’s Enforcement Sanction Guidance Table. This table appears as Appendix 4 of FAA Order 2150.3A. However, the above link goes to all appendices of this Order, so you will need to scroll down to Appendix 4. You may also view the entire Compliance and Enforcement Program Order. Question: What are the flight attendant duty period and rest requirements? Answer: In most cases, if you have a scheduled duty period of 14 hours or less, you must have at least nine consecutive hours of scheduled rest after your duty period before you have another duty period. However, under certain circumstances, the FAA’s regulations allow a rest period of only eight consecutive hours. If your employer schedules you for an eight hour rest period, your next rest period must be at least 10 consecutive hours and must begin no later than 24 hours after the beginning of the eight hour rest period. You can find additional guidance on the FAA’s Cabin Safety Legal Interpretations website.

Answer: Certificate revocations last one year. You should reapply as if you never had a certificate (license) before. You must get training and instructor endorsements. You must pass the knowledge (written) and practical tests. The only difference from when you first got your certificate is that your previous experience counts.
Question: What is a location identifier, or airport code, and where can I find the identifier for a particular airport? Answer: The FAA assigns location identifiers . They use three-letter or three-character identifiers for public-use airports and four-character identifiers for private-use airports on record with the FAA. In addition to airports, they also assign location identifiers to navigation aids, aviation weather reporting stations, manned air traffic control facilities, and other facilities. An airport’s location identifier often makes use of letters in the airport name or in the name of the associated city. For example, JFK is the location identifier for John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, and BOS is the identifier for Boston’s Logan International Airport. Some location identifiers, however, are more difficult to figure out. For example, Chicago O’Hare’s location identifier, ORD, refers to the former name of the airport—Orchard Field. O’Hare retained this location identifier because identifiers are considered permanent and nontransferable. Changes to location identifiers usually require strong and documented justification and generally occur only for reasons of air safety. If you want to learn more about the way the FAA assign these identifiers, see FAA Order 7350.7, Location Identifiers . You can request a hard copy of this document by contacting: The Superintendent of Documents U.S. Government Printing Office Mail Stop: SDE 732 N. Capitol Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20402 Or online in the U.S. Government Subscriptions Catalog. Question: What do I have to do to keep my pilot license (certificate) current? Answer: An FAA pilot certificate never expires. However, you must be current on the following to continue to fly as pilot-in-command: You must have made at least three takeoffs and landings within the last 90 days, see 14 CFR 61.57. You must have had a flight review within the last 24 months, see 14 CFR 61.56. A pilot who completes one or more phases of an FAA-sponsored pilot proficiency award program does not need to complete the flight review. See 14 CFR 61.56(e). Medical Certification With the exception of glider flying and certain flight instructor duties, you need a current medical certificate. For commercial flying you need at least a 2nd class medical certificate. Question: Where can I find regulations for pilots and flight and ground instructors? Answer: You can find regulations for pilots and flight and ground instructors on our website. Question: Can I get a pilot license (certificate) or other FAA certificate if I have a DUI or DWI conviction? Answer: The FAA may deny your application for a certificate for up to one year after your final conviction for a drug or alcohol felony offense. You can find additional information about airmen DUI/DWI’s on the FAA’s website. Question: How can I be sure that an aircraft has a clear title? Answer: You can find information about clear title searches on the FAA’s website. Question: Can I get a pilot certificate (license) or other FAA certificate if I have a felony conviction? Answer: You can get an FAA certificate if you have a felony conviction. However, if the conviction is for a drug or alcohol offense, you may not apply until one year after your final conviction. You can read more about this in the FAA’s regulation, 14 CFR 61.15 (drug and alcohol offenses) Question: What are the most common runway safety issues? Answer: For Air Traffic Controllers (ATC’s) Not scanning the runway. Coordination errors—not exchanging critical information with other controllers. Communication errors—not catching all read-back errors are also common runway safety issues. For Pilots Not following acknowledged ATC instructions—for example: reading back ATC instructions correctly and then doing something different, such as failing to “hold short” of runway or failing to hold in position on runway as instructed. Losing orientation during taxiing—for example: getting lost in good or poor visibility conditions. Communication errors—for example: misunderstanding the clearance and not asking for clarification from ATC, reading back ATC instructions incorrectly, or taking off or landing without a clearance from ATC.) For Vehicle Drivers and Pedestrians (authorized to be on the airfield) Not following acknowledged ATC instructions—for example: failing to hold short of a runway as instructed. Entering or crossing the runway without ATC authorization. Often a chain of events, not one action, causes a runway incursion. The actions of air traffic controllers, pilots, vehicle drivers and pedestrians are operationally linked. The actions of one impact the others. You can find additional information about runway safety on the FAA’s website. Question: What is meant by a clear title? Answer: You can find information about clear titles on the FAA’s website.

Answer: For Air Traffic Controllers (ATC’s) Not scanning the runway. Coordination errors—not exchanging critical information with other controllers. Communication errors—not catching all read-back errors are also common runway safety issues. For Pilots Not following acknowledged ATC instructions—for example: reading back ATC instructions correctly and then doing something different, such as failing to “hold short” of runway or failing to hold in position on runway as instructed. Losing orientation during taxiing—for example: getting lost in good or poor visibility conditions. Communication errors—for example: misunderstanding the clearance and not asking for clarification from ATC, reading back ATC instructions incorrectly, or taking off or landing without a clearance from ATC.) For Vehicle Drivers and Pedestrians (authorized to be on the airfield) Not following acknowledged ATC instructions—for example: failing to hold short of a runway as instructed. Entering or crossing the runway without ATC authorization. Often a chain of events, not one action, causes a runway incursion. The actions of air traffic controllers, pilots, vehicle drivers and pedestrians are operationally linked. The actions of one impact the others. You can find additional information about runway safety on the FAA’s website. Question: What is meant by a clear title? Answer: You can find information about clear titles on the FAA’s website.

If your employer schedules you for an eight hour rest period, your next rest period must be at least 10 consecutive hours and must begin no later than 24 hours after the beginning of the eight hour rest period. You can find additional guidance on the FAA’s Cabin Safety Legal Interpretations website.

You must pass the knowledge (written) and practical tests. The only difference from when you first got your certificate is that your previous experience counts.
