1The FAA has moved the 8710-1 process to an online system called IACRA for nearly all check-rides. Go to IACRA at http://iacra.faa.gov/Default.aspx If you are new to the system, register for an account, as an applicant. Once registered, you will be provided an FTN – do not lose this number – you need it to login every time, and your CFI will need it to locate your application and approve it. Login to your new account and step through the registration process. Note: on step 2, on the "Certificate Held" page, answer "yes" to the question "Do you now hold, or have you ever had an FAA certificate" – your student pilot certificate does count as an FAA certificate. Fill in this information on the 3rd line. When you have completed the process, provide your CFI your FTN so that he/she can login and complete (approve) the application. You will be provided a “non-official” 8710-1 form at the end of the process; print this for your records when you get to it – you can't return to this point again. (But don't actually ever send this to the FAA)
