Because a student pilot is a licensed pilot?


Frankly, I don't give a rat's fat ass if it's called a licence or a
certificate, but mine says "Airman Certificate," the FARs call it a
certificate, all official FAA publications call it a certificate, and
therefore so will I when discussing the concept with students. Nowhere
do the FARs or FAA publications discuss "pilot licenses" and therefore
that phraseology is incorrect.

Not that I really care one way or the other, except insofar as there
is an appropriate FAA terminology for the concept, and "license" is
not it.

Shall we drop it and agree on "ticket?"
