Which of the following is NOT listed as a use of the IACRA system in the remote-pilot process?

• A. Issuing a COA
• B. Validating a remote pilot application
• C. Registering to obtain an FTN
• D. Scheduling knowledge tests

Answer: (A)

IACRA is the FAA online system used to process airman certification applications, including the remote-pilot path. In this process you validate and submit your remote pilot application, obtain and connect your FAA Tracking Number to your record, and have your remote-pilot certificate issued after the application is reviewed. Scheduling the knowledge test is not done through IACRA; it’s handled with the FAA-approved test centers. Likewise, a COA (Certificate of Authorization) is an operational approval tied to specific airspace or mission requirements and isn’t issued through the remote-pilot certification workflow in IACRA. So the task that isn’t part of IACRA’s remote-pilot uses is issuing a COA.
