About a month or so ago, Frank Paynter posted the followng he
"I wound up calling the FAA Airman Certificate Office at (866) 878-2498, waiting interminably until I got to an actual human, who then immediately removed the rating(s) from my record. Then I was able to go through the web process, pay my $2.00 via credit card, and get my plastic certificate. Note that if you call the ACB and select menu choice 1 -- 2 ("Information regarding replacement of your airman certificate...."), you will suffer through a long explanation, and then be directed to the FAA website, without ever having the opportunity to talk to a human. You must instead choose 1 -- 1 ("Info concerning date of issue currently being processed..."), suffer through the interminable wait, and then tell the human what you want." When I did it, I spoke with Amy. It took her all of 10 seconds typing something and it made it so my Private Pilot Glider Air Tow Only certificate could now be replaced on line. Tell them you get Error Code #214, and they will fix you right up. My total phone call was probably less than 2 minutes, and my plastic certificat arrived in less than 10 days. Oh, and mine had my SS number, so my replacement was free! Good luck! Steve Leonard |
