Registration Rules

PRD consists of two separate applications, PRD Airman Records and Air Carrier, these are two separate applications that synchronizes users between each application. Follow the following rules for registration, failure to do so will result in registration errors and delay in accessing PRD.

Access to the Pilot Records Database is managed through the MyAccess application. MyAccess is the Department of Transportation’s sign-on system for web applications. Users must have an active MyAccess account to log into the Pilot Records Database application. My Access manages user IDs and security questions to control access. Before registering for a PRD or Air Carrier role, the user must register with MyAccess and be accorded an active MyAccess role.

The registration process begins by going to the FAA Pilot Records Database (PRD) page, https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/pilot_records_database.
