PRIA Attorney & PRD Consultations for Pilots
Supporting Compliance and Career Success
Navigating the complexities of the Pilot Records Database (PRD) is crucial for pilots seeking employment with air carriers. At Barnett Law Offices, we offer PRD consultations to help pilots understand their rights, responsibilities, and legal obligations under this critical tool mandated by the Pilot Records Improvement Act (PRIA).
Understanding PRIA and PRD
PRIA (Pilot Records Improvement Act)
PRIA is a federal regulation aimed at enhancing aviation safety by ensuring that air carriers have access to comprehensive information about pilots before they are hired. It requires air carriers to request and evaluate various records related to a pilot’s training, qualifications, and safety history. This includes:
- Accident History: Records of any accidents or incidents involving the pilot.
- Training Records: Details of the pilot’s training courses, certifications, and ongoing training.
- Safety Training Information: Documentation of safety-related training completed by the pilot.
PRIA mandates that this information be collected and maintained in a standardized format to facilitate easy access and evaluation by air carriers during the hiring process. Read our blog about Understanding the Pilot Records Improvement Act (PRIA) for more information and resources.
PRD (Pilot Records Database)
PRD refers to the actual database or system where the information required by PRIA is stored. It serves as a repository for the records mandated by PRIA, ensuring that they are accessible to authorized parties such as air carriers and regulatory agencies.
What Pilots May Encounter
Pilots may encounter challenges related to PRIA and PRD during their careers, such as:
- Ensuring that all required records are accurate and up-to-date in the PRD.
- Addressing discrepancies or errors in their records that could affect employment opportunities.
- Understanding their rights and responsibilities under PRIA, including the process for accessing and correcting their records.
- Navigating PRD compliance requirements when applying for new positions or transitioning between employers.
