If based on experience the first step is obtaining your 8610-2 sign off by the FAA. If you have a certificate of completion from an approved school, then you can begin testing at any time you feel you are ready to with no 8610-2 needed. Step 1. Obtain 8610-2. This is done either on your own or with assistance from the school by providing the school with requested information. The school will submit on your behalf to the FAA. If the FAA approves your experience, then they will issue the 8610-2. Step 2. Study for the Written Exams (Airman Knowledge Tests). Step 3: Once all of the written exams are taken and passed, you then start on the Oral studies. Step 4: When you are ready to test for the oral and practical exam, we will schedule it with the DME. You must have all of your written exams taken before you can take the oral and practical examination. You cannot take just the General Written Exam and then go test on the General portion only of the Oral and Practical.
