FAA Renames Pilot 'Dizzy Chamber' Training Privacy Records

## Summary

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Transportation (DOT) proposes to rename, update, and reissue an existing system of records notice currently titled "Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration, DOT/FAA 828 Physiological Training System." The name of this system of records notice will be changed to "DOT/FAA 828 Physiological Training Records." The modified system of records notice (hereafter referred to as "Notice" or "SORN") covers records related to the management of physiological and post-crash survival training, inclusive of determining eligibility and enrolling students in training.
