When an application is submitted in IACRA, the recommending instructor must verify what?

• A. The applicant is ready for the practical test
• B. The applicant has completed payments
• C. The applicant's instructor is certified
• D. The applicant's medical certificate is current

Answer: (A)

The recommending instructor verifies that the applicant is ready for the practical test. This means the student has completed the required flight and ground training for the certificate or rating, demonstrated the necessary knowledge and skills, and has the instructor’s endorsement to take the checkride. The endorsement confirms the applicant meets the standards and is prepared to be evaluated by the examiner. Other items like payments, the instructor’s certification status, or the medical certificate being current are not the endorsement being verified in this step, though the medical certificate must be current and is handled separately.
