FAA May Axe Paper Pilot Certifications
Filed in archive Aviation News on January 9, 2007
FAA - Notice of Proposed Rulemaking:
The FAA is proposing changes to its airmen certification and aircraft registration requirements. Two years after the final rule becomes effective, paper pilot certificates may no longer be used to exercise piloting privileges.
Five years after the final rule becomes effective, certain other paper airmen certificates, such as those of flight engineers and mechanics, may no longer be used to exercise the privileges authorized by those certificates. To exercise the privileges after those respective dates, the airmen would have to hold upgraded, counterfeit-resistant plastic certificates. Student pilots would not be affected.
In addition, those who transfer ownership of U.S.-registered aircraft would have five days from the transaction to notify the FAA Aircraft Registry. Those who apply for aircraft registration would have to include their printed or typed name with their signature. These changes are responsive to concerns raised in the FAA Drug Enforcement Assistance Act.
The purpose of the changes is to upgrade the quality of data and documents to assist Federal, State, and local agencies to enforce the nation's drug laws.
If you would like to comment on the proposed rulemaking, you must submit your views to the FAA by March 6, 2007.

Well, I believe that is the natural thing to do, considering the great amount of paper forgeries we meet. It would also makes paper more resistant to humidity and other such factors:) All aside, as technology in aviation is the top of the pyramid, we need certified men to handle it, and at the same time we need to see that it takes not so many to do that nowadays. Everyone should do their job and get the salary and facilitations given by their job.

I didn't knew that pilots had privileges in any other way than the common citizen. I think we should let them clean their own backyard.

I can't really make the connection between military aviation and drug laws. I'm really confused.

There is no connection between these 2. I think that is only to disinform people.
