  • All airmen will be required to establish an FAA Tracking Number (FTN) within the Integrated Airman Certification and Rating Application (IACRA) before taking any FAA airman knowledge test;
  • Airman Certification Standards (ACS) codes will be added to airman knowledge test reports (AKTRs) pertaining to the questions answered incorrectly;
