Early FAA Oral and Practical Exams

In accordance with 14 CFR 65.80, whenever UTI demonstrates to an FAA inspector that a student has made satisfactory progress at the school and is prepared to take the oral and practical tests prescribed by 14 CFR 65.79, that student may take those tests during the final subjects of training in the approved curriculum, before meeting the applicable experience requirements for 14 CFR 65.77 and before passing each section of the written tests prescribed by 14 CFR 65.75. A student may request to take their final oral and practical (O&P) exams before completion of the last written exams. To qualify for early oral and practical testing, a student must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 and be approved by the Education Director.

Students wishing to take an early oral and practical exam must submit UTI’s Request for Early Testing. Early oral and practical exams can be taken 45 days prior to the last day of scheduled training and must be completed prior to the last day of scheduled training.
