And since you're not listed in the FAA database, I'd have to say you've
been lying all these years, too.

And you don't even have the experience to know that the database only
contains pilots who have current medicals. It doesn't contain former
pilots.

Actually George, I didn't know that either :-))))))))))))) I've just never
had occasion before to be checking on people this way......or myself for
that matter.
I'm glad you posted this. It helps clear up a very minor point of curiosity
for me at least as to why the hell I'm not listed. It all makes sense now,
and everything falls right into place.
Thank you

It actually takes years for people to disappear from the DB after they lose a
medical, but they go away after a while.

There's plenty of room for all of God's creatures. Right next to the
mashed potatoes.

That would be it for me. Lost the medical years ago. That's the reason I
became a consultant :-)

I lost my medical back in 1990 and at some point after that disappeared from the
registry, despite the old saw about being licensed for life. When I got my
medical back last month, I miraculously reappeared in the registry.

Fifteen years ago I was a pilot, and now I are one again. G

Actually, my curiosity has been piqued by all this nonsense being thrown
out here about not being on a data base. I've given the numbers back channel
to a select few friends on the group to research and see if they can find
out the exact reason why someone.....anyone...would appear or not appear on
the data bases.

It will be interesting to know, but I'm guessing the intent is to have
only "active" pilots listed, i.e., those with current medicals. I know
that they only send the safety seminar information to those with active
medicals. I let mine lapse due to being too busy to fly a few years
ago, and I stopped getting the notices. When I inquired as to why, I
was told that they sent those only to people with current medicals.
Sure enough, I took my physical and they resumed again.

Okay, the database is working today.

I plugged in George H W Bush. He got a commercial pilot rating in
October 1945. Neither medical nor address available.

Then I plugged in George W Bush. He got a commercial rating in
December 1969 (not only SEL like his dad, but multiengine land and
instrument). Again, neither medical nor address available

So you hardly need to be current! (Both George 41 and George 43 are
alive, however, so possibly the list is pruned when you go to the
great fly-in in the sky.)

I plug in my own name and find address and all! But interestingly
enough, it gives the wrong information for my pilot certificate -- oh,
I know! I got a new cert in 2003, to scrub the Social Security number
off it, and that's evidently the date of issue.

And now I plug in Dudley Arthur Henrique and find that he was issued a
commercial pilot cert in January 1969, SEL and multi-engine land
"limited to center thrust". Last medical 3rd class November 1987 "must
wear corrective lenses." . No address

So: my guess is that Dudley is in there under a variant of his
surname, that he is practically a colleague of the president, and that
he hasn't been flying since 1989 or 1990.

Let's hear it for the FAA! That's a pretty good database, all things
considered. I think I was too hard on the guvmint in my earlier posts.

You can opt out of having your personal info appear on the
DB. Many who are active pilots do that.

Actually, being retired, I really never give it a thought either way since I
won't be flying again. It's apparently only a big deal for a few specific
morons on Usenet. My family, my friends, my professional associates past and
present, and indeed even my country's government at the highest level seem
to be quite happy with things just the way they are.
Only on Usenet will one find the idiots an issue like this one will attract.

I'm glad for you.

A good friend recently had to go through something of that sort, but
thankfully not quite as bad. He'd actually received a note of final
rejection (or whatever it was called). But somehow he and/or his examiner
managed to get past even this.

We joke about it being one of, of not the, most expensive medical ever.

But welcome back into the fold (and the DB {8^).
