It's quite possible that one could have one's own private jet and fly it with a private license. One would have to have an endorsement for the jet, however. don't confuse flying a jet with flying an airliner in airline service, which requires an ATR. Now here is a question that really displays my ignorance: what certificates do military pilots hold? Are those certificates issued by the FAA? No, I don't believe so. -- ************* DAVE HATUNEN ) ************* * Tucson Arizona, out where the cacti grow * * My typos & mispellings are intentional copyright traps * |

So to expand on A's question, without that recognition, can the military pilot fly a C152 for civilian purposes or do are they required to complete the above form and get a FAA certificate issued by the FAA to fly in the patch? Would seem then the original question that A asked "Now here is a question that really displays my ignorance: what certificates do military pilots hold? Are those certificates issued by the FAA?" I would have answered this question that it would be potentially FAA issued certificate provided the military person complete the 8710? |

Military aircraft are operated based on military "certificates". Civilian aircraft are operated based on FAA certificates. If a C152 has a N number, the pilot has to have a FAA certificate. If a C152 has a USAF tail number, the pilot has to have a USAF "certificate". Gotchya, thanks for this clarification. |

I would have answered this question that it would be potentially FAA issued certificate provided the military person complete the 8710? All military "certificates" to operate military equipment are independent of any civilian requirements to operate such equipment. All civilian "certificates" to operate civilian equipment are independent of any military requirements to operate such equipment. It doesn't matter whether that equipment is an airplane, motor vehicle, radio transmitter, or anything else that requires some sort of official authorization to operate. The form in question only provides a method for a military trained person to satisfy the training requirements to apply for a civilian certificate. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. Thanks. I suspected that but did not know the certificate issue extended beyond airplanes. As an aside, I heard a talk some years ago given by a man who commanded a bomber squadron during WW II. He had entered the Army Air Corps as a very young man but time and events forced him to grow up quickly. He had an opportunity to go home on leave towards the end of the war: remember, this was a guy who was leading a group flying bombers over Germany. He asked to borrow the family car: couldn't have it, he did not have a driver's license! We are rapidly running out of "The Greatest Generation". Should you be lucky enough to know some of the remaining ones, remember to say "Thank You." |

It's quite possible that one could have one's own private jet and fly it with a private license. Yes, but the fact remains that hardly anyone does this. John Travolta does it. Arnold Palmer does it, too. Harrison Ford can do it, but I'm not sure if he actually owns a jet. Lorenzo Lamas simply has a CPL, though (and I don't know if he owns a jet, either). Private pilots are a tiny elite to begin with. The ones who are also certified to fly jets and have their own jets to fly are so rare that they're scarcely on the radar, QED. |
