Lost certificate

[9GClub]

I've been sifting through the '06 FARs and the FAA website but I can't find the answer to this question..... I lost my [current & otherwise valid] student pilot certificate/class III medical-- can I fly with a CFI until I get a replacement from the FAA or do I need to have it in my physical possession even when flying with an instructor (i.e. non-solo)? Thanks in advance......

I would say, Only when Solo!!!

You don't have to have your medical to fly if a CFI is on board!! Unless your part 141.

Fly to your heart's content with your instructor next to you. Come time to solo, though, and you better have your certificate with you....You can get a temporary medical certificate faxed from the FAA, and maybe even the student pilot part. The quickest way to get the student pilot certificate back is to find a Designated Examiner somewhere and have him issue it......

That's what I thought, thanks guys.

Seriously, if your enrolled in a part 141 program you must have a medical.
