To All Regions and FSDO's:
Change to 14 CFR Part 61 Effective Monday, October 28
In response to a petition for rulemaking submitted by the Aircraft
Owners and Pilots Association, the Federal Aviation Administration
has changed Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) section
61.3 (Requirement for certificates, ratings, and authorizations) to
require pilots to carry and present photo identification when
exercising the privileges of their pilot certificates. The rule
changes include:
14 CFR § 61.3(a)(2)
"A person may not act as pilot in command or in any other capacity as
a required pilot flight crewmember of a civil aircraft of U.S.
registry, unless that person…has a photo identification that is in
that person's physical possession or readily accessible in the
aircraft when exercising the privileges of that pilot certificate or
authorization…."
14 CFR § 61.3(l)(4)
"…Each person who holds an airman certificate, medical certificate,
authorization, or license required by this part must present it and
their photo identification as described in paragraph (a)(2) of this
section for inspection upon a request from…[a]n authorized
representative of the Transportation Security Administration.
Beginning Monday, October 28, all pilots must comply with the changes
to 14 CFR § 61.3, and inspectors must take appropriate remedial
action when pilots do not. In order to comply with the new
regulations, pilots must use any ONE of the following forms of photo
identification:
A valid driver's license issued by a U.S. state, the District of
Columbia, or a U.S. territory or possession.
A valid identification card issued by the Federal government, a
state, the District of Columbia, or a territory or possession of the
United States.
A U.S. Armed Forces' identification card.
Credentials that authorize access to airport secure areas.
An official passport.
Any other identification the FAA accepts.
The new regulations can be viewed at http://www.faa.gov/avr/arm;
click on the "Recently Published Documents" link.
Any questions should be directed to the General Aviation and
Commercial Division, AFS-800, at (202) 267-8212.
