Yeah, unfortunately the DPE at my home field insists on IACRA.

My DPE for the PP-ASEL checkride last summer told me not to use the
IACRA. I'd already registered and was nearly ready to press the
"SUBMIT" button to submit my app electronically. The DPE told me that
this was actually more reliable. And it was!

The FAA is slowly removing the requirement to fill out 8710's for
ratings. There is a new web site.

I started using it a couple years ago, but there were bugs with it. The
site made extensive use of pop-ups and cookies that anti-virus software
interfered with. I was the only instructor at PAVCO that ever got it to
work. But if it works, it is great. Just remember that even if you can
get it to work, your students might have trouble with it.
