{{Short description|Part of the Federal Aviation Administration testing and certification standard}} {{third-party|date=April 2018}} An '''Airplane, Single Engine, Land''' certificate ('''ASEL''') is part of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) testing and certification standard: within a privilege level, it is a class rating as part of pilot certification in the United States.
