I believe so. What we're talking about here are PTRS reports (insert TPS reports joke here). These are what the FAA uses to show work done (i.e. surveillance, checkrides, etc). Even DPEs and APDs are required to submits PTRS reports to the respective office.
Everyone's airman record shows PTRS activity. Checkrides passed, type ratings issued, CFIs renewed, etc. While these PTRSs do not show up under PRIA, they would show up under FOIA.
The question is: how many companies go the extra step and request a FOIA lookup. I don't know the answer to that.
I was under the impression that these type of 141 failures were not actually failures, but stage check failures, and would not come up as an actual failure. The 141 rides were done by inhouse as well, so maybe they like to sweep this under thr rug to make their outfit look like they dont fail too many which would indicate poor instruction and a possible revoke of their inhouse DE privileges and ability to be 141.
so this "stage check failure" then shows up on your FOIA?
