QUESTIONUnder 14 CFR part 107, a person whom the Administrator finds has copied a knowledge test or taken a knowledge test on behalf of another person is prohibited from applying for any certificate, rating, or authorization for what period?

  1. A30 days after the date of the act
  2. B5 years after the date of the act
  3. C1 year after the date of the act
Show the answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. 1 year after the date of the act

  • A — incorrect No 30-day period appears in this rule; the only short waiting period in this subpart is the 14 calendar days in § 107.71 for reapplying after failing a test.
  • B — incorrect The regulation states a period of 1 year, not 5 years, for the prohibition on applying for a certificate, rating, or authorization.
  • C — correct Section 107.69(b) bars the person for 1 year after the date of committing the act from applying for any certificate, rating, or authorization and from applying for and taking any test under this chapter.

BACKGROUND

Section 107.69 lists conduct an applicant for a knowledge test may not engage in, including copying or intentionally removing a test, giving or receiving any part or copy of a test, giving or receiving assistance while the test is being given, taking a test on behalf of another person, being represented by another person, and using unauthorized materials or aids. It also prohibits intentionally causing, assisting, or participating in any of those acts. When the Administrator finds a person committed one of those acts, § 107.69(b) prohibits that person, for 1 year after the date of committing the act, from applying for any certificate, rating, or authorization issued under this chapter and from applying for and taking any test under this chapter. Separately, § 107.69(c) allows any certificate or rating the person already holds to be suspended or revoked. This 1-year bar is distinct from § 107.71, which says an applicant who fails a knowledge test may not reapply for the test for 14 calendar days.

STUDY TIP

Memorize the two numbers in this corner of part 107 and keep them apart: 1 year is the penalty period for prohibited test conduct, while 14 calendar days is simply the wait after an honest failure. Also remember that a certificate already held can be suspended or revoked on top of the 1-year bar.

KEY POINTS

  • Prohibited knowledge-test conduct includes copying a test, sharing or receiving test material, giving or receiving help during the test, and testing for or being represented by another person.
  • The finding triggers a 1-year bar from applying for any certificate, rating, or authorization and from applying for and taking any test under this chapter.
  • A certificate or rating already held may also be suspended or revoked; the unrelated 14-calendar-day wait applies only to retesting after a failure.
