At the September 14, 2017, ARAC meeting, the FAA assigned and ARAC accepted a continuation of a task to provide recommendations regarding standards, training guidance, test management, and reference materials for airman certification purposes. ARAC assigned the task to the Airman Certification System Working Group (ACSWG) to continue working on the Airline Transport Pilot certificate, the Instructor certificate, and the Aircraft Mechanic certificate. The FAA also expanded the task to include revisions to the standards, training guidance, test management, and reference materials for the Private Pilot, Commercial Pilot and Remote Pilot certificates and the Instrument rating, and added the Sport Pilot and Recreational Pilot certificates in all airplane categories, and the Private Pilot, Commercial Pilot, Airline Transport Pilot, and Instructor certificates and the Instrument rating in the remaining aircraft categories to include rotorcraft, powered lift, and glider to the list of certificates and ratings.

The ACS WG is soliciting members for the purpose of assisting with the expanded task.
