Thanks for clearing that up. Mark Kolber on Nov 03, A student pilot certificate issued under this part prior to April 1, expires: 1 For student pilots who have not reached their 40th birthday, 60 calendar months after the month of the date of examination shown on the medical certificate.
FSIMS talks about all paper student certificates expiring by April 1 , , which makes sense. KDS on Nov 03, Under the heading of trivia, there were plastic pilot certificates that expired. The FAA ran a test program for a while that put pictures on pilot certificates.
FAA personnel who passed through Oklahoma City were allowed to get one if they desired. I had a friend who took up the offer and got a pilot certificate with his picture on it.

Kris Kortokrax on Nov 02, From where did you get the April 20, date? Please bear with me. The Federal Aviation Administration FAA normally revokes a previously-issued pilot license when a pilot does something egregious. These circumstances include, but are not limited to:. I have never personally met anyone who has lost a pilot license. However, you can always reference a book called Flying Drunk. The author was an airline pilot who had his flying certifications revoked due to flying while intoxicated.
He was eventually federally prosecuted. Despite that, was able to earn back all of his certificates after serving his prison sentence. Most of the time, the FAA will administer warnings.
They may even ask you to take a check ride with an inspector to prove you are safe. The only thing you will ever have to worry about is keeping current. Keeping current simply means that you are keeping track of and completing specific requirements to prevent your skills from getting rusty. There are specific tasks that must be completed periodically per the federal aviation regulations. For instance:. The main reason the FAA has these currency requirements is for pilot and flying safety.
The flight review is basically what the name implies — a review of skills and knowledge you are supposed to know as a pilot. I thoroughly enjoyed giving flight reviews because of the pilots I got to converse with during our time together on the ground and in the cockpit.
We would usually get sidetracked sharing flying experiences, and afterward, I felt like we had bonded over our love for flying. Sometimes the CFI will ask what type of flying you do and where you like to go when you do it. For example, if I had a student that was flying out of a small grass strip then I would focus more on short and soft field procedures.
You can be current to carry passengers during the day but not during the night and vice versa. For nighttime landing currency, these 3 landings must be made at night.

You can read more about my story here. I recently had a phone call and email exchange with an air traffic controller named Mike, who has worked in several different ATC roles in the San Antonio, Texas region.

As soon as the sun dips below the horizon, to the moment it crests the horizon the next day, these lights are required. There are two more steps.
