ence and knowledge to be credited; 

(3) The receiving school determines 

(based on the person’s performance on

quired by paragraph (b)(2) of this sec-
tion) the amount of credit to be award-
ed, and records that credit in the per-

ficulty to the comparable knowledge 
and practical tests prescribed by the 
Administrator under part 61 of this 
chapter. 

(d) A pilot school that holds exam-

ining authority may not use its knowl-
edge or practical tests if the school:

Flight Standards office that there is 
reason to believe or it is known that 
the test has been compromised.
