A third class medical certificate is not a student pilot certificate. For an initial applicant, the third class medical certificate is printed on one side of the certificate, and the student pilot certificate on the other...but these are still two entirely separate certificates, with their own form numbers.

A medical certificate grants no pilot privileges. Only a pilot certificate can do that.
Student pilots can log their SOLO time as PIC, that means somebody is excercising something with that student pilot's certifcate.

Reading comprehension:D. The card has two sides and represents two different things. Your medical examiner does not give you the right to fly, your CFI signing the student pilot certificate on the back of the medical is what gives you the right to fly.

Even though the two-sided card is in fact one piece of paper, it has 2 separate documents with 2 different functions.

One of them is a Student Pilot Certificate, which is one type of Pilot Certificate.

Badda-bing.

That student pilot may not be held to the "higher" standard that Private, Commercial or CFI pilots are, but he still risks being prohibited from obtaining ratings in the future...and that is almost as good as being revoked. Besides, where does it say that Student Pilots can't face an Administrative Hearing?

Not to mention, action against certificates is the least of these guy's worries, ignorance of the law is no excuse. I'd be more worried about criminal charges and the lawsuits filed by any of the citizens that turned an ankle while being ordered to FLEE FOR THEIR FREAKING LIVES!.
 
Although this story is not as hideous as the one that Newsweek put out about the Marines, it is just another reminder that the world has gotten too complex for newspaper writers that spent excessive time sitting in classrooms diagramming sentences.

Maybe it is time that typewriters are registered and writers be certificated.

Yep. Those morons don't even do the most basic research anymore. Any one of them would fail a 5th grade English class for factual errors, crappy grammar, and an overabundance of rhetoric.

Sadly, America gets it's IQ from TV and "news" organizations such as Newsbleat.
