A friend of mine with an FAA certificate based on his UK certificate was
told that his certificate had been revoked as a result of 9/11. He was not
permitted to get an instrument rating. He had to get a private first.

He took both checkrides the same day.

Or should that be certificated! But I am confused....

I have had an FAA certificate isued on the basis of my Australian License
since 1996. I want to do some flying in the US in March 05. I will need to
get checked out by the FBO and renew my BFR I am not looking for any new
ratings. Do I need TSA clearance? Do I need to replace my piece of paper
for
a photo license?
