Re: FAA Flight Navigator certification

I downloaded the airmen database that's available here: https://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/airmen_certification/releasable_airmen_download as csv zip files with a helpful explanation of the format and character meanings.

There are presently fourteen FAA certified Flight Navigators (in the database available for download). Names, addresses, medical & other info are public information.

Interestingly the first Navigator I correlated between two files happens to reside in Canada. So, perhaps he received his initial certification there and later had the FAA recognize it.

You can still download it here:

or here: https://www.abbottaerospace.com/downloads/faa-h-8083-18-flight-navigator-handbook/
It was originally a direct copy of AF PAM 11-217.
The requirements for the Flight Navigator Certificate are found at https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-14/chapter-I/subchapter-D/part-63/subpart-C
And it still specifies celestial navigation but the regulation has not been updated since 1978. https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-14/chapter-I/subchapter-D/part-63/subpart-C/section-63.53
The test requirements are spelled out in https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-14/chapter-I/subchapter-D/part-63/appendix-Appendix%20A%20to%20Part%2063 and still requires celestial navigation and was updated as recently as 2017.
