FAA Mandates Plastic Pilot Certificates By March 31, 2010 Or You're Grounded
Regardless of the "right" wording, are you equivocating? Sounds like
you can't fly in the USA unless you get a plastic license. Not quite, it sounds like you can no longer fly if your certificate is issued by the FAA. Ok, I see your point. You are right. So this American, who has a FAA issued pilot certificate, could no longer legally fly in the USA at some point if I did not get the new plastic certificate. I did not look at the wording in a legal sense. BTW, I did get a new plastic certificate a while back to get rid of the SSN number. That may have cost zero but I may be wrong on that. Plus they make the certificate numbers way too small. Ron Lee

I have about five of them in various states of repair and can use any one of them to fly in the US. Bertie lemme see..... australian, mexican, columbian, venezualian, bolivian, brazilian. even close ??? Stealth :-) Pilot
