Recently, many practical test applicants have had there practical tests delayed because the name of the applicant entered in IACRA did not EXACTLY match the name displayed on the applicant's Medical and Knowledge Test Report.
Before scheduling any practical tests and to avoid any practical test delays, please make sure the applicant's FULL name is entered into IACRA. If there is any discrepancy, e.g., "John P. Doe" as opposed to the full name "John Plane Doe," the applicant cannot take the practical test and will have to schedule an appointment at the nearest FSDO to correct the issue.
Also, please make sure your practical test applicants have the correct endorsements. Refer to the Advisory Circular 61.65J.
