ACS Schedules Targeting June 2016 for implementation of the Private Pilot Airplane (PAR) ACS and the Instrument Rating Airplane (IRA) ACSs. Publishing Goal is 60 Days Prior to 15 June ( ie . 15 Apr)! The FAA will implement the Commercial Pilot Airplane (CAX) ACS only when the ACS Exam View Board has completed the process of reviewing, revising, and assigning ACS codes to CAX questions. Because AFS-630 may not have its new test management services contract in place by June, it may not be possible to report ACS codes (in lieu of LSC codes) for areas of missed knowledge on the Airman Knowledge Test Report (AKTR) right away.
PAR / IRA Written Questions These ACS documents have been extensively reviewed and prototype-tested, In addition, the FAA has reviewed, revised, and coded all active PAR and IRA questions to the respective ACS. Anyone who uses the ACS as a guide to training and test preparation for the PAR or IRA knowledge tests will be well prepared. Even without the listing of ACS codes on the AKTR, the ACS presentation format will make it easier for applicants, instructors, and evaluators to do remedial training and testing of missed items.
