What form must be completed for Airman Certificate and/or Rating Application?

• A. FAA Form 8710-1 or IACRA form
• B. Form 7460-1
• C. Form 23-1
• D. Medical Certificate Form

Answer: (A)

Submitting for an airman certificate or rating is done by completing FAA Form 8710-1, or via IACRA, which is the online version of the same application. This form is the official FAA certification document that collects your identifying information, eligibility details, required endorsements, and test results. It serves as the FAA’s record to determine if you meet all prerequisites and to issue the certificate or rating once everything is in order. Using IACRA simply streamlines and electronic-izes the process, guiding you through the fields and routing the submission to the appropriate FAA personnel for endorsement and issuance. Other forms relate to different FAA processes and not to applying for an airman certificate or rating.
