FAA Changing Airman Cert Process, Plans Webinars
The new process includes registering for an FAA tracking number to eliminate name confusion.

Beginning January 13, the FAA is changing the way it tests applicants for an FAA airman certificate—including drone pilots—and plans to host four informational webinars starting next week to acquaint them with the changes that the agency said will improve the process. It identified the creation of an Integrated Airman Certification and Rating Application (IACRA) profile by applicants in advance of registering for a knowledge test as one of the most important changes.
