Yea! With my change of address I am finally relieved of the old
dot-matrix paper certificate. The fancy new holographic plastic
license came in today's mail! I get to write my name right over ole
Wilber n' Orville! (Made my pilgrimage to Kiity Hawk in November)

Question

Where do you keep your certificate? I have always read that if
stopped by the police on the road they have the right to "see" your
license (AOPA decal in rear window). We've also been cautioned to just
let the officer "see" the certificate and never to actually "hand" it
over. Since we must have it with us when we fly, is it better to keep
it in the flight bag as I've always done? I don't always have the bag
in the car.

I guess I really already know the answer.... just excited to finally
have something to be proud of after all these years. But I AM curious.
Where do you keep yours?

In my pants, along with all the other important stuff. It's in my
wallet, as is my medical and my Driver's License. What did you think
I was talking about?

That way, I'm always ready to fly. I can borrow a headset if I have
to...

61.3(a) says, "....pilot certificate...in that person's physical possession
or readily accessible in the aircraft when exercising the privileges of that
certificate or authorization." So you can keep it in your flight bag if you
bring the flight bag with you on every flight. I keep my flight and medical
certificates in my wallet. And, I'll show the originals to anyone that
wants to see them and if necessary will provide a photocopy of both.

My certificate occupies the third place right behind my driver's license and
U.S.A.F. retired ID card in my wallet. I gladly will show it to anyone
interested. In my logbook, as others have indicated, I have a envelope glued
to the inside back cover. In that I keep my medical certificate; a copy of
the FAA Registry web page that shows my PP rating; a copy of my renter's
insurance coverage statement; and a copy of my long-since expired temporary
PP certificate - I know, it isn't required but it brings back a lot of
memories :-).
