FAA airmans certificate
Some not so good news if you want to get an FAA license based on your JAA license. This is an email sent to me from the person who issued my FAA license. I have obviously X'd out numbers.
Hi Gary!!
The info that I provided to you when you called was that OKC "issued" the
permanent certificate on XXXXXXXX and when the date shows up in our
database, all requirements for that certificate have been met and the
certificate is sent. I do not know why you have not yet received it but I
suggest that you contact Airman Certification Branch in OKC 405-954-3261 -
ask for an examiner and give them the exact date of issue on the temporary
(XXXXXXXX). It showed up in the database as being issued by OKC on
XXXXXXXX. Your temporary is good for120 days (until XXXXXXXX).
If you know of anyone who is considering obtaining a US Certificate on the
basis of their foreign license, please let them know that there will be no
appointments available until further notice.
You can call me at the number below if you need any further information or
help. I will be in the office this week from 6:30AM-4PM Monday-Thursday!
Best regards!!
