Ben,

No the FAA does not require any certification because we are not
operating the aircraft for the purpose of air navigation.
We do have a company mandated 18 hour training course per aircraft type
before they will let you be "PIC".
The instructor looked at me and skipped the airport diagrams and radio
phraseology because I already have my Pilots license.

Maybe someday.



Do you need any kind of FAA cert to do that? In a movement area vs
non-movement area? It never occured to me that non-pilots were taxiing
planes, but I guess it's not that surprising for maintenance...
