FAQ
Q: Are we required to use the PRIA 8060-10 form for FAA Records Requests?
Q: What is the Pilot Records Database (PRD)?
Did you know
Between 1987 and 1994, US Air Carrier industry suffered at least 7 fatal commercial airline accidents due to the absence of background checks being conducted on pilots. Reviews later revealed that the Pilots involved had prior safety violations and/or training problems. As a result, Congress passed the Federal Aviation Reauthorization Act of 1996, commonly referred to the Pilot Records Improvement Act of 1996 (PRIA). PRIA Authorizes the mandatory gathering and sharing of records from the FAA and previous employers, which allows an air carrier to make an informed decision before extending a firm offer of employment to a pilot applicant.
Recommended for
PRIA requires that a hiring air carrier under 14 CFR parts 121 and 135, or a hiring air operator under 14 CFR part 125, request, receive, and 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.

FAQ
Q: Are we required to use the PRIA 8060-10 form for FAA Records Requests?
A: No. The FAA discontinued acceptance of the 8060-10 form in December 2021. Results for these requests are obtained from the Pilot Records Database.
Q: What is the Pilot Records Database (PRD)?
A: The PRD is a database that automates the current PRIA process. Air carriers, operators holding out to the public, public aircraft operators, air tour operators, fractional ownerships, and corporate flight departments will eventually be required to enter all relevant data on individuals employed as pilots into the PRD; however, the PRD is being rolled out in three stages:
- Phase 1: The Database will include FAA records only, allowing the database to be used in lieu of completing the manual 8060-10 PRIA process for FAA Records.
- Phase 2: Air carriers and operators will be strongly encouraged to obtain an individual’s records maintained by the FAA exclusively through the PRD but will still be required to request records from an individual’s current and/or previous employer(s). 3rd Parties may access the database as “proxies”.
- Phase 3: Air carriers and operators will use the PRD for all pilot records requests maintained by the FAA as prescribed in the Pilot Records Database final rule.
