new airmen certificate

[dave]

After Jay Honeck posted his question about whether or not to include
anonymous pilots/aircraft on his website. I responded that although I
thought his website was a good idea, that I prefer to remain anonymous.
That started a very valuable debate that probably scared and educated
all of us. Perhaps Jay more than others. I don't think we need to
discuss that again.

Someone posted that we could change our certificate number by applying
to the FAA. I sent the form in about a month ago. Today I received my
new plastic certificate complete with my new number and the Wright
brothers looking approvingly on the back. Just wanted everyone to know
that it was a painless and fairly prompt process. Kudos to the FAA for
being just plain helpful!

Yes, very pretty. For about a month I carried the thang in my wallet,
hoping somebody would ask to see it.

Nobody did, so I returned it to its slot on the inside back cover of
my logbook.

The FAA has been issuing plastic card certificates for several months now.
Supposedly harder to forge, they also celebrate the centennial of flight.
Don't worry. You can keep your old paper certificate for now.

You carry your logbook in your aircraft?

No, that's not the point. Almost all of my certificates were in my hip pocket
during the Kitty Hawk gig and got soaking wet during the rainstorm. They are
damn near illegible and I wanted to replace them anyway. Other than the normal
"send me in with a check" information on the back of the certificate, is there a
special form you have to fill out for the plastic replacements?

Fill it out and send it in with a check for two simoleons and a
Wheaties boxtop.

I never used my social security number, never. I've got unique IDs for the
commercial/cfi, the A&P, and the ground instructor. Why you get three different
numbers from the same organization is beyond me, but that's the way it goes.

So if you've ALREADY got your numbers, do you need the form anyway?

The special form is to request that they assign you a new ID number instead of
using your Social Security number. You can change that when you get a new
certificate.

Nope. Just request a replacement in the usual way. The replacement will be one of
the new plastic ones.
