If a duplicate AKTR is requested, what is specifically required about the test date?

• A. The test must have been taken on or after January 13, 2020.
• B. The test must have been taken after January 1, 2021.
• C. The test must have been taken within the last year.
• D. The test date is not relevant to duplicate requests.

Answer: (A)

The requirement hinges on matching the duplicate AKTR to records in the current FAA system. When a duplicate AKTR is requested, the test must have been taken on or after January 13, 2020, because that date marks the update of the AKTR format and the corresponding duplicate issuance process. Duplicates for tests taken before that date aren’t eligible under the standard procedure since those records aren’t aligned with the post-update format the FAA uses for duplicates. If the test date meets this after-date condition, the duplicate can be issued in a way that correctly corresponds to the FAA’s current records.
