Tony Verhulst wrote: I have a FAA issued pilot license and section VI says: Nationality - USA. This is a federal agency written certification attesting to my nationality. When I became a US citizen, I sent the required letter of notification to Oklahoma city. Several weeks later I received my new certificate with "Nationality - USA" on it. At no point did I submit any documentation proving that I was what I said I was - they simply took my word for it. Hardly "written certification attesting to my nationality", IMHO. Tony V. An excellent point. I think you are likely right, and my assertion is incorrect. I also suspect that the procedure for validating "nationality" will change soon. -- ------------+ Mark J. Boyd |

My best advice: join AOPA, I don't think they have any citizenship requirements and if it weren't for them, general aviation would be nothing but a secret club working on better anti-radar aircraft materials... Been an AOPA member since 1989 and getting an early flight review before Oct 20 is being seriously considered. I may be able to keep flying myself but I won't be giving any more instruction. No more "wings" hours for a beer, no more flight reviews for friends and aircraft partners, no more tail wheel instruction because it's fun. Why would an American citizen want me as an alien to have copies of all their nationality papers. Hell, I could take their identity, get flight training in an MD-11 (that I can already fly, I just don't do landings) and go hit a building somewhere. Andy Andy, As a US citizen I am very sorry that this will undoubtedly negatively affect resident aliens. I and others in aviation are sending in comments that will hopefully help. The federal government has cut off a finger to get rid of a blackened fingernail. Hopefully we can all contribute to the reattachment of the digit. Or at least we can give them the finger... :P -- ------------+ Mark J. Boyd |

Actually, I DID read it. Until proven otherwise YOU
are considered to be the terrorist we're all after. YOU must now carry 'papers' with you at all time if you'd like to take a spur of the moment training flight. As a CFI, you must keep a record of all the papers you've examined for 5 years. You must pay to take security training. You can't take anyone for just a ride lest it be construed as training without checking their papers.-TomAt 03:36 09 October 2004, Bernie Lewis wrote:It appears that many of you have not read the new rules. As a CFI, ifthe worst that I have to do is check someones birth certificate, Iexpect I can live with that. If it keeps ONE rag head from trying toblow something up with an aircraft....It will be worth it. I alsosuspect that many of those who say it infringes on their civilliberties would be the first to ask why more wasn't done to gaurdagainst suicide pilots, should something happen in the future with alight airplane.Bernie VR Tom Serkowski ASH-26E |

Where did you get that nonsense from ?!
-- Bert Willing ASW20 "TW" "Mark James Boyd" a écrit dans le message de news: 416efeca$1@darkstar... In article , Methinks we are heading towards a situation like Europe, where as a citizen I must have a passport on me at all times to be in my own country...it's a shame that the presumption may become that one does NOT belong here... |

wrote: You can't take anyone for just a ride lest it be construed as training without checking their papers.- Finding myself in a financial position that would allow me to at least reach the level of having a license in my pocket, maybe not more, but at least that much, then finding that there are more legal hoops to jump through, I begin to wonder if it would be worth the effort. Maybe someday our lawmakers will demonstrate that their collective IQ is above the single digits, but I have my doubts. |

Added to all the other hoops I have to jump through just to get out of the house for an hour, adding another may just be the one that I can't get over. It's somewhat ironic, for at least three years, I haven't had the money, now I have the money, but I'm tied to the house unless my daughter is in a hospital. Lennie |

I'm sorry to hear that your daughter has such challenges Lennie, and I applaud your dedication to her best interests. This TSA thing will be made more rational before long, and I hope you'll hold on to your hope of soaring. Your day will come. Jack |
