FAA Mandates Plastic Pilot Certificates By March 31, 2010 Or You're Grounded

wrote: You've got two years to comply or lose your right to pilot an aircraft: http://www.aopa.org/flightplanning/a...28plastic.html FAA mandates plastic pilot certificates By AOPA ePublishing staff Still hanging onto your paper pilot certificate? You’ll need to upgrade to a plastic pilot certificate by March 31, 2010. The FAA released its final rule on Feb. 28, announcing the required switch to the certificate it deems is more counterfeit resistant. When the FAA proposed this mandate in 2005, AOPA members overwhelmingly supported the move to a more secure certificate. do you know what the real joke is with all this rubbish. Australia once had a small credit card sized pilots licence ...well the australian 'cretins against sane aviation' will only ever call them a 'flight crew licence' ...anyway. this was universally loved by pilots all over australia. it was neat. in fact it is the only competent thing casa has ever done in the last 10 years. against all input from pilots the cretins got rid of it and introduced an ICAO compliant A5 sized book of paper pages in plastic wallets. just so that australia wouldnt look out of place. so you guys are getting a credit card sized pilots licence. bloody good! now we'll be able to ridicule the cretins into introducing our credit card sized licence again. gawd our people are stupid. I think the casa gene pool is long overdue for chlorinating. Stealth Pilot. |

So this American, who has a FAA issued pilot certificate, could no longer legally fly in the USA at some point if I did not get the new plastic certificate. I did not look at the wording in a legal sense. Actually, he could, if he is using a foreign certificate. I have about five of them in various states of repair and can use any one of them to fly in the US. Bertie lemme see..... australian, mexican, columbian, venezualian, bolivian, brazilian. even close ??? Stealth :-) Pilot |

Most are expire at the moment ( the US is the only place I know of where the licence doesn't actually have an expiry date) Bertie |
