Which form option can be used for Airman Certificate and/or Rating Application?

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

Answer: (C)

You can apply for an airman certificate or rating through two paths. FAA Form 8710-1 is the traditional paper-based request used to initiate issuance of a certificate or rating. The IACRA system is the FAA’s online portal that lets you complete, sign electronically, and submit the same application, with the data flowing into the 8710-1 record for FAA processing. Either path leads to the certificate or rating once all eligibility requirements and testing are satisfied. The Medical Certificate Form, by contrast, is used for medical certification and is a separate part of the process, not for applying for an airman certificate or rating.
