Awsome to look at! 90 days, almost to the minute from end of checkride. Can't use it today, though - 400' ceiling and 0.5 visibility. -0- Fritz Back to top Mark Hansen Guest Posted: Tue Nov 09, 2004 10:00 pm    Post subject: Re: Got That Pretty Plastic Card Today!

Does it include your photo? I've heard that the new cards both do and don't include a photo and am just wondering which way it really is.

If this clears up the issue. I was at this year's AOPA Expo and the FAA is still working out the logistics of getting the photo and the ticket together. It's all still up in the air. One of the most promising suggestions that AOPA is floating around is that AME's could take the photo at the time of one's aviation medical exam and then send it to the FAA with requisite paperwork. -- -- =----- Good Flights!

There was something really strange about watching the DPE hunt-and-peck my temporary certificate on a really, really old portable typewriter. Maybe some sort of secure website where the DPE could do all the paperwork online and submit a digital photo at the same time? Maybe you'd get your permanent certificate in something less than 3 months. Maybe not. -0- "Cecil Chapman" <bayareapilot (AT) sbcglobal (DOT) net> wrote Quote: If this clears up the issue.

They have to find a way to minimize the paperwork handling as well as the handling time. I would think/hope that most AME's would have access to a computer with some kind of internet connection (I'm presuming of course,,, don't really know). -- -- =----- Good Flights!

They can do alot of it online. At least my examiner was able to complete it on the web. My CFI and I filled out the application the prior day and then the examiner filled in his parts while on-line. He filled in the temporary certificate by hand though. He said the on-line system speeds things up. I don't think it did. It still took just over 90 days to get the plastic card. -- Chris Ehlbeck, PP-ASEL "It's a license to learn, have fun and buy really expensive hamburgers."

I went to one of the FAA web sites to sign up for the Safety news letter, www.faasafety.gov they are not going to be mailing those little blue or yellow news letters any more. And also to their FAA Services Log on https://amsrvs.registry.faa.gov/amsrvs/Logon.asp there they asked what I wanted for a photo reference, Drivers License or Passport, choosing the drivers license it asked for State and allowed me to enter my Driver ID number.. so maybe my next certificate will have a photo? Gee.. will that be CFI-A or ASES? BT Commercial, ASEL, AMEL, Instrument Airplane, Glider CFI-Glider "John T" <jt (AT) his (DOT) isp> wrote Quote: Mark Hansen wrote: Does it include your photo?
