There is no fee for the background check. I think they should auto clear us too if we have Global Entry - that requires an interview with customs and background check. So lump us in there with part 61 pilots.I did the online test for Pilots before the 29th gat the cert. Took it to the CFI I use had him sign off in my log book. On Tuesday he called and said he had more paper work to turn in so I went by sign it. On Sat. I took the test, filled out the online information on Sunday afternoon and within 10 min my temp cert was available for printing. The temp did not have any reference to my Private pilot license on it. In the iacra summary it shows my Private pilot license with all of my ratings. I think the private pilot paper process is going to take a lot longer than the online one from the testing center.
On another point I was asked, If you are not a pilot is there a fee for the TSA Vetting process? anyone know?
