Any additional information that applies to a transmitted exam should be mailed separately. The Cover Sheet that is now provided online in the SUPPORT SECTION should be used for all additional information. Failure to use this cover sheet will delay the processing of the airman's data.

temporary step needed to assist the Certification Division in double checking the system's
performance and accuracy. You will be notified when this step is no longer required.

01/11/2000: The AMCS/DIWS system is a "one way" data entry system only. You can not "view" previous information or go back to check a recently submitted exam for errors. If an airman selection does not show a "P" in the status box, do not pull that airman up, unless you intend to start a new exam on that airman.
Should you discover an error after you have submitted an exam, please fax or e-mail the AMCS Hotline and let us know what needs to be corrected and the exam will be corrected by the Certification Division. Please be sure to include the Airman Name, the MID#, the Applicant ID#, the Certificate FF# and the AME# in your email or fax to help us reference the airman in question. |
