Submitting an Inspection Authorization Renewal Application

• Once you are registered, you can return to your console and start an Inspection Authorization Renewal application.
• Note: If IACRA cannot locate a previous inspection authorization in your Airman record, you will not be able to start an application.
• Once you submit and sign your application, it will automatically be routed to the Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) listed in your application.
• After March 1st, an Aviation Safety Inspector or Technician (ASI or AST) at that FSDO will retrieve your submitted application, complete the remainder of the process and sign your application. This process will create your Inspection Authorization letter
• After FSDO review, you will be notified by email that your IA letter is available. You may then log into IACRA, navigate to your console and review/print your IA letter.
