PRIA - Pilot Records Improvement Act

What is PRIA and who needs it?

According to PRIA (Pilot Records Improvement Act), air carrier employers must request, receive, and evaluate certain information concerning a pilot/applicant’s training, experience, qualifications, and safety background before allowing that individual to begin service with their company as a pilot.

Applicable:

  • Any air carrier or other person hiring an individual as a pilot of a public or civil aircraft
  • An individual who has prior experience and who is applying to an air carrier

Verification

For our FAA-regulated clients we offer services designed to comply with basic PRIA requirements including:

  • Previous Air Carrier Employment Records Checks (5 years)
  • FAA Records Check
  • National Driver Registry (NDR) Records

For those air carriers who require more than the basic services, we provide additional background screening services including:

  • Criminal Records Searches
  • Credit Reports
  • Employment Verifications
  • Right-to-Work Certifications
  • We also offer airframe and power plant licensing verifications.
