A PMI has NO authority to TAKE your airworthiness certificate, Or your
pilots license for that matter...... He can ask to see it and you must
show him, but he will not touch it!!!

He can not even Delay your flight to conduct a ramp check..... tell em
to take a hike

there are two sides to this story. I have been working on aircraft
for
more than 40 years , problems between the FAA & operators are a two
sided street , the fAA finds a problem asks the operator to fix then
things need to get repaired or fixed

there might be a lease that's not worded correctly or maintenance
issues if the FAA writes a letter or violation thru fars . it in
legal
hands not good

he can ground aircraft & have you bring him or her paper work to his
office to show how things are fixed or repaired
& release the aircraft for flight

if they take the airworthy certificate things are not going well
