Thank you"
Their response -
"You are correct, just the 135 and 121 carriers."
and from the instructions on the 8060-12 form -
"A list of specific drug and alcohol testing records to be furnished through this request is provided in Part I of FAA Form 8060-12. Part I is also used by the hiring air carrier or other person who has employed the individual as a pilot at any time during the 5-year period preceding the date on the employment application:"
Part 91 Requests: If you are a part 121 or 135 air carrier or a part 125 air operator who is preparing to hire a pilot whose previous experience is only with part 91 operators,
you should still send a PRIA records request to these companies for any training or safety-related information that they may have. You should recognize that most part 91 operators do not establish or maintain the pilot records required by PRIA (except part 91K fractional ownerships) and are not required to do so. However, since the definition of “person” includes a part 91 operator, you should still send a PRIA records request and the company should respond to that request. If the company has no information, they should indicate to you that no information is available.
Note: If the pilot you are preparing to hire only worked privately as an individual 14 CFR part 61 flight instructor, there is no need to prepare and send a PRIA records request because there is no company to request records from.
