FAA certification requires that an
individual must successfully pass an
Airman Knowledge Test as part of the
requirements to obtain an FAA
certificate or rating. The FAA develops
and administers 90 different knowledge
tests in many different areas that are
required as part of the overall airman
certification process.
Airman Knowledge Tests are
administered at approved Knowledge
Testing Centers by an approved test
proctor who is required to administer
the appropriate Airman Knowledge Test
to the individual pursuing FAA
certification. Individuals taking an FAA
Airman Knowledge Test must provide
the following information to be
collected in order to complete the
registration process before the
administration of the Airman
Knowledge Test: Name, FAA Tracking
Number (FTN), physical address, Date
of Birth, email address, photo
identification, phone number, test
authorization (credentials of the
individual such as an instructor
endorsement), and previous number of
test attempts.

access locations. Alternatively, PATH
requests continued approval to install a

any newly ordered passenger cars. In

its October 6, 2022, petition, by letter dated
November 29, 2022.

on each side . . . that can be opened by
the passengers or first responders in the
event of an emergency.’’
