The ftn is an 8-digit unique and permanent number assigned to each registered user in the faa’s Integrated Airman Certification and Rating Application (iacra) system. Beginning January 13, 2020, all airmen must have a ftn prior to taking any faa akt. To obtain a ftn in iacra, applicants will need to register at the following link and follow the instructions provided: https://iacra.faa.gov/iacra/Default.aspx. All airmen must use iacra to establish a faa Tracking Number (ftn) before taking any faa airman knowledge test. This identification number will be printed on the applicant’s Airmen Knowledge Test Results (aktr) in replacement of the Applicant ID number. The applicant is responsible for obtaining the ftn, and in no way involves the asi’s, tpe’s, or dpe’s. The ftn is required for the written exams only and does not change faa Policy, as it only changes the ‘form and manner’ for the applicant and not the process. Also, beginning January 2020, the faa will no longer require an embossed, raised seal on the aktr. Examiners and asi’s will no longer be required to verify that an embossed/raised seal is present on the aktr before conducting certification tasks requiring the airman to present a valid aktr. Replacement Test Reports If an applicant loses his/her original aktr, he/she can receive a replacement from the vendor for all knowledge tests taken after January 13, 2020. Applicants will have the ability to print their aktr directly from the vendor’s website. For all knowledge tests taken before January 13, 2020, applicants must contact the faa Airmen Certification Office (afb-720) for copies of aktrs. Free Admission For Ages 18-And-Under At EAA Airventure Oshkosh 2020 Young people ages 18 and under will be admitted free to eaa AirVenture Oshkosh 2020, as a way to introduce more youth to the possibilities in the world of flight. The 68th annual Experimental Aircraft Association fly-in convention will be July 20-26 at Wittman Regional Airport. The Boeing Company is financially supporting this effort for the next two years to encourage more aviation-minded families and their children to attend the event that brings more than 10,000 aircraft from around the world to Oshkosh each year. “eaa’s mission is growing participation in aviation and in 2019, after eaa reduced admission costs for students, we saw an increased number of families coming to AirVenture,” said Jack J. Pelton, eaa’s ceo/chairman of the board. “Inspiring young people and giving them a first look at what ’s possible in aviation is only achievable if they can get in the gate. This effort will build on the more than 60 years where AirVenture has earned a reputation as a wonderful family event. We’re incredibly appreciative of Boeing’s support and like eaa, Boeing is committed to inspiring the next generation of aeronautical innovators. Because of Boeing’s belief in our mission, we can invite youth from around the world to experience AirVenture at no cost.” The free youth admission is available throughout AirVenture week. Along with Boeing’s financial support, a small fee on AirVenture advanced purchase adult admissions and value-added opportunities such as the Aviators Club will support this free admission opportunity for young people. “At Boeing, we aim to inspire and prepare the next generation of innovators, and eaa AirVenture provides a unique opportunity to encourage the natural curiosity of young people,” said William Ampofo, Vice President, Business Aviation, General Aviation & oem Services, Boeing Global Services. “We are proud to provide an opportunity for thousands of youth to experience this world-class event, and be inspired to use their talents, creativity and vision for the future of aviation.” Longstanding youth activities and programs at AirVenture include such popular offerings as the hands-on KidVenture display and program area; technology, innovation, and education options at Aviation Gateway Park; and extraordinary events such as daily air shows and more than 1,500 forums, workshops, and seminars.
