Comments Invited: You are asked to
comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for FAA’s
performance; (b) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to
enhance the quality, utility and clarity
of the information collection; and (d)

OMB Control Number: 2120–XXXX.
Title: Pilot Professional Development.
Form Numbers: None.
Type of Review: New collection.
Background: The Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on the following
collection of information was published
on October 7, 2016 (81FR69908). A
second 60-day Federal Register Notice
was published on September 29, 2020
(85FR61083). This action amends the
requirements primarily applicable to air
carriers conducting domestic, flag, and
supplemental operations to enhance the
professional development of pilots in
those operations. This action requires
air carriers conducting domestic, flag,
and supplemental operations to provide
new-hire pilots with an opportunity to
observe flight operations and become
familiar with procedures before serving
as a flightcrew member in operations; to
revise the upgrade curriculum; and to
provide leadership and command and
mentoring training for all pilots in
command. This final rule will mitigate
incidents of unprofessional pilot
behavior and reduce pilot errors that
can lead to a catastrophic event.
Summary: The final rule requires the
development and approval of new and
revised training curriculums for the
following:
• Leadership and command and
mentoring ground training for pilots
currently serving as PIC (§ 121.429) and
recurrent PIC leadership and command
and mentoring training (§§ 121.409(b)
and 121.427);
• Leadership and command training
and recurrent leadership and command
training for pilots serving as SIC in
operations that require three or more
pilots (§ 121.432(a));
• Upgrade training curriculum
requirements (§§ 121.420 and 121.426);

• Part 121 appendix H requirements;
and
• Approval of Qualification
Standards Document for certificate
holders using an Advanced
Qualification Program (AQP)
(§ 121.909).
The final rule also requires some
additional recordkeeping related to
maintaining records of pilots
completing the following:
• Leadership and command and
mentoring ground training for pilots
currently serving as PIC (§ 121.429);
• Leadership and command training
and recurrent leadership and command
training for pilots serving as SIC in
operations that require three or more
pilots (§ 121.432(a));
• Recurrent PIC leadership and
command and mentoring ground
training (§ 121.427); and
• Operations familiarization for newhire pilots (§ 121.435).
Use: This information will be used to
ensure safety-of-flight by making certain
that adequate training is obtained and
maintained by those who operate under
part 121. The FAA will review the
respondents’ training programs and
training courseware through routine
certification, inspection and
surveillance of certificate holders using
part 121 pilot training and qualification
programs to ensure compliance and
adherence to regulations and, where
necessary, to take enforcement action.
Respondents: As of February 2017,
there were 79 certificate holders who
use part 121 pilot training and
qualification programs. They
collectively employed 39,122 PICs and
42,227 SICs.
Frequency: Information is collected
on occasion. Responses will vary based
on type of operation.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: 206 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
9,614 Hours.
