How long before the card comes?

@fed1read01:

you mean the DE did not give you a copy of all the paperwork?

I don't think he has a copier. His aviation business is at a small field,
where he is the one-man flight school, repair, etc. But it shouldn't
really have mattered. He *did* (of course) give me my copy of the
temporary certificate. I have no idea what other information (other than
the 8710 and knowledge test certificate) he sends to the FAA.

And you did not keep a pencil copy of the 8710 you filed out?

Actually, at the time I had several copies. But.... well, a few weeks
after the checkride I tossed the old copies (after all, I *had* the signed
temporary certificate, and was just waiting for the permanent one to
arrive... DUMB DUMB DUMB).

That DE should give you your money back..

Heck, I'm just hoping he doesn't make me take the checkride over again! G

I know the DE gave me copies of all my info i asked him what for he said
incase something gets lost! Said if you don't receive it in 105 days call
him and he will reissue me a temp and see whats taking so long.

Your log book should have your check ride date and examiners signature

It does. And I still have the original (well, the copy they give to the
applicant) temporary certificate. But it's not that the FAA doesn't
believe me (well, actually, they don't - or at least they don't care).
They require a full data package, including application for certificate,
original (from the DE) of the temporary, original of the knowledge test,
etc.

None of that exists anymore, of course.

Current plan is for me to reconstitute the 8710 form for back when I
took the checkride, try to get a new "original" of the knowledge test
certificate (which has expired), and the other paperwork. Take that to
my my CFI and get him to sign another copy. Then fly over to east Texas
(about 250 nm each way) to get the DE to sign everything. Then if I am
lucky we can mail it all back to OKC.

No, I'm not worried about it all --- YET! But a friend assures me they
know someone this happened to, and she had to take her checkride over
again.

Guess I'll wait a few days before I start practicing those Chandelles
again. Sigh...

BTW, the FSDO suggestion. Turns out my local (75 miles away) FSDO
isn't involved. It's the one 200 miles away that is involved. And they
aren't even taking requests for scheduling visits (no walk-ins, period)
until the alert level goes back down.

I passed my checkride over 2 months ago but have not received the
plastic
license yet. Any idea how long it takes?

BTW, I did not mail anything to anyone..The D.E. told me she would be
sending the form in. Is that the norm?

thanks.

Your "temp" is good for 120 days and it ususlly takes about 10 weeks or
more. You can go to the FAA Airman Registry website

Yeah, it looks like they are working on certificates dated 10 weeks back.
Here is the website: http://registry.faa.gov/airmen.asp

Good luck,

It looks like they just got off of it.

We are currently processing permanent Airmen Certificates with an
approximate issue date of October 31st, 2003 .


Good luck,

Skyking

Mine came just before the temp certificate expired so they apparently like
to press the envelope a little.
