from what I read on FAA Web site.. the PC program you mentioned is in
"sunset".. being phased out.. now it is all web based and not stand alone
PC..

yes it could print out temp certificates.. but only valid certificates had
the "watermark" on the paper supplied by the DE

right now it looked like the web based program is geared towards part 141
schools or other formal training programs.. starting to open it up to all
part 61 flight training..

we do not have access to internet from our remote training location

need to do some research as I'll have two students up soon for their check

first call is to the DE.. to see if he is using it yet..


I have seen ACRA used for almost 2 years now. We had an examiner give
us a copy because he wanted us to fill it out so he would have it
ready when he came in for a checkride. We then started using another
examiner due to some scheduling conflicts and this examiner told us
that we were not suppose to have this and that we could get in trouble
if we used it. One of his main concerns was the fact that this
program could be used to generate temporary license. We deleted it.
I didn't like using it in the first place. It was much more
complicated than filling out a 8710 in PDF form.
