We all know the problem with our pilot license numbers. The

overly cautious, yes.


Go to http://registry.faa.gov/airmen.asp#R...ofCertificates and you
can download a form to request a new airman certificate that does not use
your SSN as the certificate number. You can even request that the FAA not
use your SSN for any purposes in your airman file.



We have all had that option all along. When I got my ticket back in 76 I had the option to use the SSN or have the fed
assign a number. I chose to have them assign a number...

Do you do this sort of research for a living? If so, please contact me by
email.
Nothing nefarious, I would simply like to find out if a particular person
is
still alive.

Careful now, you did say that you knew three murderers, want to make it
four? ;-

Actually, the correct link for that is as follows:

http://registry.faa.gov/airmen.asp#C...tificateNumber

While you're at it, see if you can figure out why I wind up at the top of
the
list if I use the back button to return from viewing a photo. It also
completely
reloads the page when I do this, so it takes a long time to looks around.

Weird. I can't duplicate this behavior. Can anyone else?

Where can I find the FAQs?

http://google.com/search?q=rec.aviation.*+FAQ

Okay, so it already exists? Why don't I just link to it from the pix page?

Who said anything about reinventing the FAQs?

Word to the wise, you may be taking on a responsibility that could last
a long time. But it's for a good cause, don't you tihnk?

This is probably a dumb question, but what has to be maintained? After all
these years, aren't the FAQs pretty "set in stone"?

FAQs, at least the good ones, are not set in stone. They should get periodic
updates and those updates should get posted or announced in the relevant groups.

Some of the FAQs (e.g. r.a.m) seem to be maintained currently and some are
not. The ones that are you could mirror or link. (mirrors are usually always
welcome but check with the maintainer first) The ones that are not maintained
currently you would have to adopt and maintain. I think you could find a
volunteer or two around here to own parts of the FAQ and provide updates as
needed. A (*gasp*) collaborative effort.


Can't I just copy/paste it into a page, and be done?

You could but the idea with the stale ones would be to revitalize them, get
them up to date add any recent FAQs not already covered, etc.
And the ones maintained currently could be mirrored.

mirrored == you pull the content on some regular basis from the
maintainer site.

You probably have your browser cache set to a size that's smaller than the total
bytes that the page contains.

I can't believe I'm troubleshooting someone's browser problems in
rec.aviation.* We really need to get back to talking aviation. :\

I did. I knew three murderers, too.

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."

I interpreted the question as present tense ... :-)

People who are dead and people who are in prison tend to be people for whom I
do not apply the present tense.

Why not, look at your/my reply, more wasteful than Jay's reply and he is
trying to help someone.
