And you have the new plastic credit card edition of it, right ? The paper version became invalid several years ago.
I’m flying in Africa, Single pilot, single engine, turbine, IFR... but not using my FAA License for that. However I did my last FAA check-ride / IFR renewal in November, in the USA, although it was just in a C-208 Simulator. I have a single /mulit-engine FAA license, and a current FAA medical.
I didn’t know there was a paper license, had the plastic one since 2005.
7,000 hours total time, but only 500 multi-engine / multi crew (twin otter).
That’s amazing they are taking chaps in the 60s! But I suppose the young chaps don’t stay any longer...I guess they just get some jet time and move on.
Thanks for all the info folks....I’ll look into it more after New-Year stuff get sorted!
