What is the role of the PSI special accommodations team?

• A. To work with applicants requesting special accommodations in accordance with the ADA.
• B. To grade the tests and assign scores.
• C. To schedule flights for examinees.
• D. To review pilot medical records.

Answer: (A)

Providing access for test-takers who need accommodations under the ADA is the role of the PSI special accommodations team. They work with applicants to determine eligibility, review supporting documentation, and coordinate with FAA-approved test centers to implement the approved accommodations during the exam. This ensures the testing environment remains fair and the test’s integrity is preserved while allowing the candidate to demonstrate their knowledge. They are not involved in grading or scoring tests, scheduling flights for examinees, or reviewing pilot medical records, which are handled by the testing administrators and FAA medical processes.
