To access an applicant’s IACRA application, which item is specifically identified as needed?

• A. FTN
• B. Date of birth
• C. Pilot certificate number
• D. Social Security Number

Answer: (A)

Access to an applicant's IACRA file is identified by the FAA Tracking Number (FTN), a unique identifier assigned to the applicant's record in the IACRA system. This number is specifically used to locate and open the correct application, ensuring you’re viewing the right file even if there are other applicants with similar names. The other items listed—date of birth, pilot certificate number, and Social Security Number—may be useful for verification in different contexts, but they are not the primary identifier used to access an IACRA application; the FTN is the standard reference for accessing and tracking the file.
