IACRA Instruction Manual
1. Welcome
Welcome to IACRA – a next generation web-based airman certification tool based on the popular ACRA
software. IACRA allows you to register and work on airman certification applications from anywhere you have a
computer with an Internet connection.
The purpose of this document is to provide initial getting started instructions to register, log-in, and complete an
airman application. It will also provide guidance on what information is required for registration of certain roles.
2. A Next Generation Tool
ACRA was a stand-alone application that used an Access database. IACRA is a web-based system. You don’t
have to install or download any software to access the application. This web-based version has several
advantages over the original ACRA, such as:
• You can access it anywhere you have an Internet connection (with Internet Explorer v 6.0 and higher
or Firefox v 3.0 and higher).
• A single FAA tracking number (FTN) that is permanently assigned to each airman.
• Your input data is validated to reduce potential errors.
• Your data is captured, wrapped, and archived. Then, a required digital signature is applied to ensure
the certification data is not changed from time of signature.
• Future feature includes improved accuracy and filing time for PTRS 1563, 3529, and 5529.
3. IACRA Roles
IACRA uses “roles” to determine the level of access a person has to the system. It validates an individual against
their FAA credentials. Each time an IACRA user, other than an applicant, chooses a role and registers the
information is verified against various FAA databases in order to determine currency. The breakdown of roles in
IACRA appears in Table 1.

4. Pre-Registration Data Requirements
This section pertains only to part 141 flight schools / part 142 training centers. If this does not apply to you,
please skip to section 6, Process Overview.
4.1 Part 141 / part 142 Pre-Registration Data Identifier Requirements
If you are a registering in IACRA for part 141 flight schools / part 142 training centers, you are required
to have the following information available in order to complete the IACRA registration process. If you
are missing any piece of the required information, please contact your local Flight Standards District
Office (FSDO).
• Airman Certificate and Date of Issuance
• School Certificate Number
• School Designation Code (This is a 4 digit alphanumeric code, usually the first four characters of
your certificate number)
• If you are an ACR or TCE, a Designee Number is required
IMPORTANT Note to Chief / Assistant Chief Flight Instructors: It is highly recommended you contact your
local FSDO and check to ascertain how you are listed in the National Vitals Information System (NVIS) before
proceeding. IACRA uses NVIS to read your existing credentials. Any difference in nomenclature may result in a
registration delay.
4.2 Pre-Registration Activities for part 141 Flight School / part 142 Training Center
Representatives
If you are a school administrator, Chief Flight Instructor, Airman Certification Representative (ACR), or
Training Center Evaluator (TCE), you must associate yourself with your primary school or training center
during the registration process before you can log into and use IACRA.
Note: For supplemental part 141 flight school / part 142 training center information and general
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) regarding IACRA, see Appendix A in the back of this document or
visit the IACRA Web site at http://iacra.faa.gov/iacra/faq.aspx.
5. Tips for IACRA Applicants
IACRA provides the ability to electronically fill out the FAA form 8710-1, FAA form 8710-11, FAA
form 8400-3, FAA form 8610-1 and FAA form 8610-2. During the registration process, it is critical that
you record, in writing, the FAA Tracking Number (FTN) that will be assigned to you. IACRA uses the
FTN to identify an individual and you must provide that number throughout the airman certification
process.
5.1 General
Additionally, keep in mind the following tips as you use IACRA:
April 2010

IACRA Instruction Manual
• If appropriate, have your flight times calculated and ready before starting an application.
• Have your current certificate in front of you while filling in the application. This will help you
remember to list your entire certificate held information when prompted by IACRA.
• Read the instructions that appear on each screen.
• Before clicking a link, read the link text carefully. This may prevent you from spending time
linking to screens you do not need to visit.
• If you are in doubt about what to do on a screen, look at the help files. There is a Help button on
all popup screens where help is available. Also, all main screens have a Help link in the upper
right corner of the page header.
• If reading the help file does not answer your question, then you can call AVS Support Central for
help with your issue (see Section 8, Contacting the National AVS IT Service Desk, later in this
document).
5.2 Deleting an application
The applicant has the ability to delete non-submitted application from the Retrieve Application page by
clicking on the trashcan icon in the Delete column.
6. Process Overview
Please read carefully the process steps that follow. Depending upon your role, the process varies slightly.
1. Retrieve your airman certificate and have it available during the registration process, as you will
be required to enter the information exactly as it appears on the certificate.
2. Start by opening Internet Explorer (version 6.0 and higher) or Firefox browser (version 3.0 and
higher) and browse to http://iacra.faa.gov/iacra/ to access the IACRA site.
3. Choose the Role and Register.

IACRA Instruction Manual
4. Once you have registered and have your login information, an FAA Tracking Number (FTN) is
assigned to you. The FTN is a permanent and unique airman number. Please record and keep
your FTN Number as it will be needed for future use in completing this application.
5. If you are not a school administrator, proceed to step 6. Otherwise, if you are a school
administrator, you must be validated by an ACR or TCE using IACRA or by calling AVS Support
Central (see Section 8, Contacting the National AVS IT Service Desk, later in this document) prior
to logging in.
6. Login. Login to IACRA using the name and password you created, and the FTN assigned to you
during the Registration process.
7. Follow the on-screen instructions for your role. Each role type has unique tasks.
8. Check and re-check all of the information entered before you digitally sign/submit the
application. Once the application has been signed, you will not be able to correct previously
entered data.
9. The Result of this process is that the successful applicant is issued a results document that can be
printed while the application is electronically sent to the Airman Registry to be processed. The
results document can be a Notice of Disapproval, Letter of Discontinuance, or a Temporary
Certificate.
7. Online Help
For additional help while using the IACRA certification module, contextual help is always available for
the page on which you are currently working. Simply click the Help link in the upper right corner of the
application in your web browser. Note: Make sure you have any pop-up blocking software disabled.

8. Contacting the National AVS IT Service Help Desk
The National AVS IT Service Desk aids users when they have support issues with IACRA. The following
information outlines AVS Support Central daily operations:
• Hours of operations are: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
• Telephone number: Toll-free at 877-287-6731
• E-mail address: [email protected]
• The Web address for IACRA is http://iacra.faa.gov/iacra
9. Frequently Asked Questions and Supplemental Information
The unique nature of the IACRA web application creates situations where extra information is helpful in
order to complete a registration, affiliation, etc. Additional FAQs may be found on the IACRA Web site
at
http://iacra.faa.gov/iacra/faq.aspx. The following topics are provided here for your information:
Part 141 Flight School / part 142 Training Center Information
How do I add multiple student records for part 141 schools without
exiting the Student Affiliation screen?
It is possible to add multiple students in a single session without having to exit the Student Affiliation for
part 141 Flight Schools (Search) screen by doing the following:
1. Enter the student’s FAA Tracking Number (FTN) in the Enter Student’s FTN field.
2. Enter the student’s last name in the Enter Student’s Last Name field.
3. Next, click the Search button on the upper right side of the screen.
4. The student’s information is displayed. Click the Affiliate Student button to affiliate the student
with the school and the respective curriculum. This creates the student record.
5. To create a new student record without logging out of IACRA, repeat the process from step 1 for
the next student.
Can both Students and School Administrators Start an Application?
It is permissible for either students or school administrators to start a FAA form 8710-1 application.
Students can fill out a new application after registering. School Administrators can initiate multiple
student applications. They must make the affiliation between the student and school, and then affiliate the
school’s curriculum with the student’s application.
What is a Designation Code and how do I locate it?
A designation code is a 4-digit alphanumeric code that flight schools use in several ways to make
associations between the school, the school curriculums, and flight school representatives (School
Administrators, Airman Certification Representatives, Training Center Evaluators, etc.)
The designation code with which an application is started must be the same one with which the
application is finished. Therefore, a participant in the application process (school administrator, Chief
Flight Instructor, Recommending Instructor, Airman Certification Representative, etc.) must be assigned
to and use initial designation code.
April 2010

IACRA Instruction Manual
IMPORTANT: If you do not know the school’s designation code, you must contact your local Flight
Standard District Office (FSDO) and ask for the designation code as it appears in the National Vitals
Information System (NVIS).
How do I determine which curriculums have type ratings associated
with them?
As a TCE or School Administrator you must select a curriculum/type rating and affiliate it with the
student’s application. The student cannot do this. The individual schools will know what their courses
require as far as curriculum and type ratings that they use. Contact your school for more information.
General
Does the Close Browser Button Save My Information?
When you use the Close Browser link to exit IACRA, the information you have entered into the
application is saved before the browser closes. The browser closes to ensure that your session to the
IACRA web server is properly terminated. This occurs to ensure security for your application particularly
if you are using a computer other than your own, such as in a public library or cyber café.
Does entering incorrect data cause that data to appear on the results
document?
If you enter incorrect information into IACRA, that same incorrect data will appear on the results
document, such as the temporary certificate. Although IACRA performs many checks against FAA
databases, some fields are comprised of basic text and they will appear as entered on the temporary
certificate. It is strongly recommended that you completely review your application prior to submission.

Step 2 – Certificate Sought Data
The Certificate Sought Data screen allows you to select the type of certificate for which you are applying.
Make selections from the drop-down lists. The selections in remaining drop-down lists can change or
become active/inactive based on each selection made.
Select the type of Certificate you are applying for
Select from the following choices:
• Student Pilot
• Sport Pilot
• Recreational Pilot
• Private Pilot
April 2010

IACRA Instruction Manual
•
Commercial Pilot
• Airline Transport Pilot
• Flight Instructor
• Ground Instructor
• Authorized Instructor
• Flight Instructor Sport Pilot
Based on the selection type you make, IACRA indicates the rest of the selections that you need to make
from the remaining drop-down lists by adding "* Required Field" in red or IACRA fills in the required
drop-down lists automatically.
For example, selecting Private Pilot makes the Select Restricted or Standard drop-down list active
because this choice is necessary when seeking a private pilot certification. However, if you selected
Recreational Pilot as the certification type, the Standard option is filled in automatically with 'Standard' in
the Select Restricted or Standard drop-down list because it is the only option for a Recreational Pilot.
Select Restricted or Standard
This drop-down list becomes active if you are required to select whether the certification you are seeking
is restricted or standard. The restricted certification can have different designations depending on the type
of certificate chosen. For example, a private pilot can have a Restricted (Foreign-Based - FAR 61.75)
rating or Restricted rating where then the U.S. Test Passed Rating is required.
• Standard
• Restricted Foreign Based - FAR 61.75
• Restricted Special Purpose - FAR 61.77
Select the Certificate Basis
The Certificate Basis drop-down list becomes active when IACRA indicates that you need to select the
basis by which the certificate was obtained. Like the other drop-down lists, this list changes based on
previous selections. For example, while a Recreational Pilot with a Standard certificate can select FAR
61 - Completion of Required Test or a FAR 141 - Graduate of Approved Course, an Air Transport Pilot
with a Standard certificate can select from any of the following school/training designations:
• FAR 61 - Completion of Required Test
• FAR 141 - Graduate of Approved Course
• FAR 142 - Graduate of Approved Course
• Air Carrier Training Program
• Military Competency
• Using Ultralight Hours
Select the Type of Issuance
The Type of Issuance drop-down list is where you indicate whether the certificate is an original issuance
or is an additional issuance/type rating to an existing certificate.
Based on the selections made in previous drop-down lists, the options here can be any of the following:
• Original Issuance
• Added Category/Class Rating
• Added Type Rating
• Renewal
• Reinstatement
