Pilot Records Improvement Act of 1996 (PRIA)
NOTICE: On December 7, 2021, the Aviation Data Systems Branch will no longer accept FAA Form 8060-10 to request FAA records under PRIA. The requirement to review a pilot's FAA records under PRIA is still in effect and is expanded on by 14 CFR Part 111. Air carriers and operators who must review FAA records under PRIA and/or § 111.105 must use the Pilot Records Database (PRD) to obtain the records beginning December 7, 2021 in accordance with § 111.100(b).
PRIA and 14 CFR Part 111 require that certain hiring air carriers and operators operating under 14 CFR parts 121, 135, 125, 91k, and air tour operators (91.147) evaluate certain information concerning a pilot/applicant's training, experience, qualification, and safety background, before allowing that individual to begin service as a pilot with their company. The FAA-records are obtained via the Pilot Records Database (PRD). Non FAA-records are obtained via the PRIA process as described in Advisory Circular 120-68J. Beginning June 2022, the PRD will also begin to contain some non FAA-records. Evaluating operators, entities and trustees must continue making PRIA requests through September 8, 2024. Beginning on September 9, 2024 the PRIA will cease to be effective in accordance with 14 CFR Part 111.5(b).
