certificate
Three weeks ago I sent the FAA two bucks and now I have my new super
cool centennial certificate. For whoever asked about them earlier, there is a strip on the back like on credit cards for the airman's signature. Here's my dilemma: I want to keep it but I will be taking more checkrides. Say I take the commercial next year but instead of giving up my centennial card, I hand in my old paper certificate. Will some Okie eagle eye spot this and bust me, or can I keep the Wright Bros. one forever that way? |

When I got my last certificate the DE asked that the FAA return the original to me since it was an original issuance. I did not ask him to do this but he thought I might like to have it since I had been packing it around since 1985. The original (with a hole punched in it) came back to me along with the new certificate. I'm sure you could ask the same thing. |

Surrendered my 1974 original in 2002 after my instrument practical, got a xerox copy but the old one is gone forever. -Greg |

Do not hand in the old paper certificate. It became void when you received your new one. I doubt the FAA would be amused. How do they tell the difference? -Robert |

If you earn a Commercial in the future, the FAA will issue you a new certificate anyway. Sure, they could change the picture, but I don't see anything special about the picture now that would indicate a change in 2004 or beyond. Certificates issued in 2003 have centennial of flight graphics. Neither you nor I know what ones issued in 2004 or later will be like. |

I've not seen anything that says the old certificate is no good anymore. When I renew my CFI I dread getting the new certificate. I suspect they'll send 2 or 3 again like when they changed the SSN. My wallet isn't big enough to carry 3 hard plastic certificates. Maybe they'll learn how to pull all certificates on one card. |
