Change of Address

[FL530]

If a certificated pilot changes permanent mailing address and fails to notify the FAA Airmen Certification Branch of the new address, the pilot is entitled to exercise the privileges of the pilot certificate for a period of only how long? Where is this rule at?

Where is this rule at?

In any FAR/AIM ... in a very obvious place, labeled clearly and unmistakably, shouldn't take more than about 30 seconds to find it.

A Squared, I am now standing and applauding your post.

Just a thought...
Do you think that if FL530's info is correct with all his/her entire 26 hours of C152 and C172 flight time we could be somewhat tolerant, maybe only once, this time? Allow me.

FL 530,

Your Second question:

Look under part 61, Certification: Pilots, Flight Instructors, and Ground Instructors.

In the section: General

Under: Change of Address

------------------------------------

The short answer to your first question is --- NO ---


You may want to spend some time in the FAR book is you wish to become and remain a Certified Pilot for any length of time.

Just a thought....

JAFI,

If you've been reading my posts for any length of time, You'll be aware that I'm always more than willing to point someone to a difficult to find regulation or dig up a legal interpretation for a unclear reg. However, I do have a fairly low tolerence for pilots just asking to be spoon-fed something which can be easily found with minimal effort. As an aside, I believe this is one of the reasons that we have so many myths and misunderstandings in aviation: because people would rather be told something than go find the correct answer themselves ... as a result of this intellectual laziness, mis-information gets passed on from one person to another, and winds up being accepted as truth. Anyway, perhaps you are right, if the original poster is in fact a 26 hour student pilot, he might be cut some slack. I didn't read the profile before you mentioned it. At any rate, I would agree with your suggestion:

"You may want to spend some time in the FAR book is you wish to become and remain a Certified Pilot for any length of time."

That is good advice.

BTW, the correct answer to the first question is 30 days.

See what I mean about it being better to look it up than to ask someone?

 

[JAFI]

A Squared, I meant no offence by my remark. I too have a problem with an airman saying, "Give me the answer" when they do not take the trouble to even attempt to look it up.

BTW, your answer to question one is correct, "30 days." I was too busy standing and applauding so I forgot the last part of the question. This is what happens when you read too fast and reply too quickly while laughing too hard.

The BBS system is free information and advice. The old saying is probably correct: "you get what you pay for."

JAFI,

No offense taken, frankly, I couldn't tell if your bit about applauding was sincere or sarcastic ... one of the limitations of the internet I guess

 

[JAFI]

A Squared,

My mistake. No sarcasm intended. I have read so many posts where pilots who should know where to look for the answers to their questions.

Your answer was great; short, to the point, with out being condescending. It could be used to answer many questions for those who do not have the knowledge or desire to try to look for themselves.


In the future I will try harder to be clear in my intent and post slower to avoid confusion.
