Plastic Pilot Certificates Mandatory in 2009

Eh, the CFI certificate is good for only two years anyway, so pretty much all the active CFIs have plastic certificates anyway. And I had to replace the pilot certificate when I got my pocket picked in the Philippines. When you renew your CFI certificate if you don't already have a new pilot's certificate one is automatically sent. The new certificates don't include SSN so it wouldn't make much sense to send a new CFI ticket with a new number but still says "valid only with pilot certificate XXX-XX-XXX" -Robert |

Plastic Pilot Certificates Mandatory in 2009
I just received my plastic certificate in today's mail. I passed my
PP-ASEL checkride on Nov 5, so this is the first certificate for me. Opening the envelope to find it brought a huge smile to my face. Have they been issuing the plastic certificates for long? I was expecting paper, until I saw the AVWeb article yesterday. The letter that came with my certificate said the FAA had been issuing paper certificates since 1926, It's got a magnetic strip on the back...I wonder what's encoded there... Gary |

Get one now, just report your current certificate missing
and ask that all certificates you now hold have the SSN removed. They will replace them all, with a single common FAA number.

Nah. I'll just go for my commercial rating. Actually I started that, stopped when the arrow I was using developed a problem with the prop governer (it is the shortest flight in my logbook) and I got sidetracked onto other things. Maybe I'll go back and finish it up. Jose -- He who laughs, lasts. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |
