Call the number listed in this earlier thread:

Once you reach a human, they'll most likely know exactly what to do.
They've been getting lots and lots of calls on this, and it's usually
no problem to remove the ATO restriction. It takes just a couple of
minutes, then you can go back to the Web site and it goes right
through.

After that was fixed, the only problem I had with the system was
entering a physical address that their system would take. Thanks to
the Google, I learned that the USPS considers my neighborhood to
actually be part of the zip code for the next town over.

Thanks, Bob K.


After receiving the "can't do" message on the web site I sent an email
to the listed address asking for help, and received one back a few
days later stating the problem had been taken care of. It would now
appear that the problem was taken care of "for me", but not for
everyone else. My mistake was for thinking the fix was for everyone
that had glider ratings. Such can be the fun of dealing with the
federal government!
