Designee application, selection and appointment is the process we use to identify qualified private persons to act on behalf of the FAA Administrator. Order 8100.8 and Order 8900.2 define qualification requirements for certain designees, and provides guidance and procedures for their selection and appointment of designees under the cognizance of the Aircraft Certification Service and Flight Standards Service.
The application, selection, and appointment process should take less than 90 days, assuming:The National Examiner Board (NEB) oversees the designee application and screening process for the Flight Standards Service.
