When I try to apply for a plastic certificate at FAA wwbsite, I get
following message

I have a Glide only rating.

"THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR RENEWAL ONLINE RATINGS # 214"

Has anyone else had this problem

Jim Marks



Yes. I ended up printing out the form (found somewhere on the FAA
website) and mailing it in.

I had that exact same problem. Find the contact number on the website
and then give them a call and explain the situation. In my case the
person I talked to knew exactly what the issue was and reset something
on their computer system. After that I tried it again and renewed my
license without problem. I received my replacement in just over a
week.

You can save $2 by requesting a license w/o your social security
number on it. If you do that, it is free.

Don't call your FSDO, they will refer you to OK City.

Provided your current paper certificate has your SSN on it.
If it does not have your SSN, then no freebees..
