Just wondering,
If i apply for a new FAA license will they send me out a new one with the ICAO approval on it or do i specifically have to request it??

Cheers

Tiny

You do have to be able to speak the language

Every new issued (plastic card) licence comes automatically with "English proficient" written on it.
If you want a new one without having done a new licence, you'll have to pay $2 to get one with the endorsement.


For all of you who don't know: the FAA reasons that every FAA certified pilot already meets the proficiency requirements, by requiring it for each licence anyway: FAR PART §61. [...] (c) "Be able to read, speak, write and understand the English language. [...]"

I'm stunned. Something that will cost me for the FAA licence, but that I've just received free by post for the CAA licence!!! (though it is just a piece of paper). Must be a first.

oki guys and dolls. if you have FAA tickets go online to this

https://amsrvs.registry.faa.gov/airmeninquiry/default.aspx

Follow instructions and then search for your details and it will have English Proficient on it . Print it and carry it with you until your new plastic arrives, the FAA will stand by this.

It's also a good website to see who has what.

Funny idea this english thing, :ugh:
