And what does that instructor require in order to sign it?An instructor to sign the IACRA application.
I thought proof was required to be shown to instructor. No?Above all correct unless the potential student is not a U.S. Citizen. Add more steps if so.

As a hiring manager at multiple large companies, I have always been amazed that with literally zero training I am supposed to validate these types of credentials.Yes. And if they’re not we send them off to a lovely TSA website.
Of course I’m no expert on forged documents so what TSA thinks is intelligent about having me work as their part-time unpaid employee accomplishes, I have no idea.
I don't believe a medical is necessary to get a student pilots license.Medical and money ,plenty of money.
My understanding was the "proof of citizenship" for US citizens was required "before flight training begins", is recorded in logbooks, and is not related to the IACRA student-license process. IACRA can come later, or earlier, than the start of training. There, the CFI is just verifying identity and English proficiency. Am I wrong about this?
The university where I teach has an aviation dept with Frasca sims. I still had to bring my passport to prove US citizenship in order to use the sims, even tho I had already brought it to the HR dept in order to be employed by the university. Sometimes, logic baffles me.
Very helpful. Thanks so much.First you go to ground school and learn the FAA issues pilot certificates not licenses.
From some of the radio calls around here (W.WA--PNW), I'd say that's not always strictly enforced.You must read, speak, and understand English. Not much else.
When did that change?First you go to ground school and learn the FAA issues pilot certificates not licenses.
The FAA has always issued pilot CERTIFICATES. The CAA did so before that.When did that change?
I can't believe how many copies of my fingerprints HSA must have for me:
1. DC-3 pilot certification (actually did that with fingerprint cards).
2. TSA Precheck (electronic)
3. TWIC (electronic)
4. Global Entry (electronic)
The person said "Kid, we don't like your kind. We're gonna send your fingerprints off to Washington."
And friends somewhere in Washington, enshrined in some database, is a study in ones and zeros of my fingerprints.
This doesn't even count the gazillion times the DOD has taken my prints for ID cards and security clearances over the years.

Well, Wikipedia is wrong. Driver's license revocation in 41 states and the District of Columbia can be done with administrative action without judicial involvement. That is not the legal distinction (what little there is) between licenses and certificates.From Wikipedia: Legally, pilot certificates can be revoked by administrative action, whereas licensing (e.g., a driver's license) requires intervention by the judiciary system.
