Pilots are approved (maybe) when working for a vendor that AM has a relationship with. That relationship consists of some kind of
est. procurement. i.e. Aircraft Rental Agreement (ARA), Contracts,
either exclusive use or on call. We must have a prior relationship
with the
vendor before initiating their pilot in the certification process.
Civil
pilots may be approved as cooperators when requested by a DOI agency
and departmental standards are met.
3. How do I get my DOI pilot qualification card issued?
When a vendor submits an OAS-64 pilot
information form, that information will be reviewed for conformance
with DOI standards and the appropriate qualification issued. Evidence
of the required proficiency checks (135.293
a & b) or 135.297 a or g as appropriate
of aircraft make and model are required to be submitted along with the OAS-64 for each aircraft make and model
to be approved. Special use flight activities will require a flight
evaluation in accordance with DOI standards.
4. How do I get my DOI pilot qualification renewed?
For point point airplane pilots the normal expiration date is 24 months.
An updated OAS-64 pilot qualification
form must be submitted in advance of the expiration date to avoid lapses
in currency. The evidence of proficiency required is the same as required
for original issuance in the question above. Special use activities
will require flight evaluation intervals (appropriate to the mission).
For most special use activities, the flight evaluation interval is every
36 months. Please reference OPM
