An FTSP Portal account administrator for flight training providers must be what?

• A. Be an FAA certificate holder if operating under Part 61
• B. Have a DoD endorsement
• C. Be a licensed pilot
• D. Be a corporate officer

Answer: (A)

The requirement is that the FTSP Portal account administrator must hold an FAA certificate when the flight training provider operates under Part 61. This ensures the person managing the portal has formal FAA credentials and authority to oversee flight training, certify that courses meet Part 61 standards, and maintain proper records. Having an official certificate signals competence and regulatory legitimacy, which helps uphold safety and accountability in training programs. DoD endorsements or simply being a licensed pilot don’t substitute for the FAA credential, and being a corporate officer is a business role, not a regulatory credential.
