Hey Guys, Happy New Year, Below is an excert from n AOPA email that i got. I was not awear that we had to get the new plastic certs and I just thought that I may not be the only one. I had not changed mine from the SSN so I was able to do it for free. Copied from an AOPA email:
>>Paper pilot certificates will no longer be valid after March 31, 2010, so >>make sure you?ve upgraded to a plastic certificate. The FAA mandated the >>change because it says the plastic certificates are more counterfeit >>resistant. Pilots can request the plastic certificate through the FAA?s Web >>site or by mail. The cost is $2, but if you change your pilot certificate >>number from your Social Security number, the switch is free. Temporary, >>student, and flight instructor certificates are not impacted by the rule. ____________________________________________________________ Senior Assisted Living Put your loved ones in good hands with quality senior assisted living.
