Which entity administers the knowledge tests and the accommodations process described?

• A. The PSI organization
• B. The FAA regional office
• C. The local airport authority
• D. The pilot's employer

Answer: (A)

The PSI organization. The FAA contracts with PSI to run the knowledge tests and manage the accommodations process, ensuring standardized test delivery nationwide. PSI handles the test centers, scheduling, identity verification, scoring, and coordinating any approved accommodations for qualified examinees. The FAA regional office provides policy and oversight, but does not administer the tests; local airport authorities may host testing sites, yet they do not run the testing program; and the pilot’s employer does not administer these tests.
