I have no idea how anyone would know (other than the FAA that you had an SI). But you now have to carry your SI with you (the same as if you had a SODA).

The speculation that I read was that originally this requirement was only going to be for pilots who operate outside the US on their US issued pilots certificate, then the FAA lawyers got involved...

After much digging, the newly revised 14 CFR 67.401 (j) now officially reads:

Found it, it's 67.401(j). The change to the requirement was made to bring the US in line with IACO rules. July 28 NPRM on page 43063 about half way down the first column. It states:

A special purpose pilot authorization has to do with Cat II & III a/c as well as foreign pilots operating in the US, maybe some others as well. My letter is titled, "6-Year Authorization of Special Issuance of A Medical Certification".

Not to mention that 61.3 hasn't changed since 2004 and my letter says "recent" and this requirement wasn't mentioned back in March '08, I definitely say 61.3 is not it.

But my letter is not an "special purpose pilot authorization".

I just received a letter from the FAA confirming their favorable review of my interim follow-up reports and reminding me of when my next set of reports are due. What I was surprised to see was that "Due to a change in our guidelines/policy, your authorization dated [ snip ] must be carried at...

You know, after reading this thread: I don't think there's a pilot on this forum who wouldn't go out of their way to make me feel comfortable if I were flying with them. I believe if I brought up any concern, or felt unsafe, or didn't think something was quite right that we could discuss it and...

Apparently he stashed a Motorcycle near where he jumped out of the plane. http://www.theheraldbulletin.com/local/local_story_013110143.html

I am. Fly out of KAID as a matter of fact... Although I haven't been very active in the last year or so due to funds.

After talking to the AOPA and finding out that the FAA's paper backlog is again 90+ days (it was under 45 back in the spring), I decided to let my fingers do the walking. I found an AME who does a couple of SI's every year and he agreed to look at my paperwork. He was a bit apprehensive at...

My AME is being difficult. Even tho my SI "authorizes" him to issue me a medical for 6 years he still is only willing to take my $100 and submit my reports to OKC ... which I can do myself for $90 less. I guess my problem is that the guy won't talk to me directly and his nurse is clueless when I...

Looking at the satellite view of the airport it looks like there's an unmarked parallel runway all the way at the other side of the field. Could that be the "missing" 17R/35L? Google Maps View

It makes me think, "Hey! Dumb S..t, LET GO!"

My brother was the target of a liability suit where my brother felt he did nothing wrong. The jist of the story was the amount of the suit wasn't "excessively large" and his insurance company wanted to settle for a portion of the amount requested. My brother went nuts, and he wanted to fight it...

Good luck! Cya soon! :)

All I got was the quote and the video which I posted. No idea how much or if it's commercially available. :( It could be a fake for all I know. :dunno:
