Have you not heard of a pilot's license? Or, are just you trying to
belittle me through symantics?

Why are you doing this? Why are you trying to discredit me
professionally by suggesting I'm not a CFI?

Below this reply, I am reposting a discussion on "license" vs
"certificate". An article on AvWeb a couple of years back prompted
an exchange of emails between one of their editors and myself.

Please excuse me if the following question was answered in what you
posted. I *did* read it, but may have missed something.

Anyway, my question: I think I understand the legal distinction between
licensing and certification, but what are the *practical* consequences
to me as a pilot in that distinction? In other words, how would my life
as a pilot be different if the US licensed pilots rather than certifying
them?
