I imagine that today, TSA will start to require a check to
run a background check. It is easy to do and easy to fix.

The DE was being very nice, the feds would likely have sent
him home and had you do another oral. Hope posting here
helps the students and CFIs keep it all straight.

|
| Proper Endorsement of Student Pilots Recently, several
| student pilots (under 40 years of age) have shown up for
| their FAA Private Pilot Practical with an expired
STUDENT
| PILOT CERTIFICATE, however their third class medical was
| still valid. CFIs, during your next review of the
| regulations, make sure to re-read 14 CFR 61.91-Duration
of
| Pilot and Instructor Certificates.
|
| Specifically paragraph (b) Student Pilot Certificate,
| states: "a student pilot certificate expires 24 calendar
| months from the month in which it is issued." Remember,
IAW
| 14 CFR 61.23(d)(3)(ii)(A), the third class medical
expires
| at the end of the 36th month after the month of the date
of
| examination if the person has not reached his or her
40th
| birthday on or before the date of examination. When
| endorsing a student pilot, be sure to check the dates of
| both the Medical and the Student Pilot Certificate. Even
if
| they are on opposite sides of the same piece of paper
they
| may have different expiration dates. All endorsements
are
| clearly outlined in AC 61-65E and can be found at:
|

| www.FAASafety.gov
|
| [Note, a new Student Certificate can be obtained from
any
| DPE or FSDO office. The endorsements on the old
certificate
| remain valid, so keep the old Student Certificate and
place
| a current solo and x-C endorsement on the new
certificate,
| since they are getting ready for the practical test,
they
| certainly would continue to meet the requirements.
