It's all over the aviation websites so I'm sure everyone knows. However you never know..
A heads up for anyone who doesn't know, the FAA is expiring the paper Airman Certificates as of March 31st.
If you've still got one, go here and fill out the form and request your new one. FAR 61.19(h) reads: “Except for a temporary certificate issued under §61.17 or a student pilot certificate issued under paragraph (b) of this section, the holder of a paper pilot certificate issued under this part may not exercise the privileges of that certificate after March 31, 2010.”
I'd sure hate to be holding an old paper one and get ramped somewhere. Note, if your certificate still has your social security number on it you can request a new plastic certificate and not have to pay the $2.00 charge for the replacement.
