Absolutely reasonable. It should not be, and should never have been, as easy to obtain a pilot certificate as it is. . .. .It is a great shame that this legislation has not been forthcoming from within the industry and that the states feel that they themselves must act to regulate pilot certification. The FAA is responsible for aviation security and flight crew licensing is clearly now part of that responsibility.. .. .Wonder what your thoughts are about Phil Boyer's article in this month's AOPA, where he states his intention to fight the introduction of pilot photo ID. He say's that it should be sufficient simply to carry your DL with you. I think he has rather missed the point. . .. .The idea of having a photo ID is to positively identify the holder has a licensed pilot. How does carrying a driver’s license achieve this? There is nothing to stop any felon who can drive from forging a small, drab DOT card with his name on it! . .. .AOPA has done much valuable lobbying on aviations behalf, but I think this is something they need to leave well alone. He states the reluctance of pilots to travel to FSDOs and to pay up to 60 dollars for certificate issuance. I doubt whether many people would mind taking a little extra time to help make aviation safer. I certainly do not. As he himself said, people have to travel to the DL Bureau to get a DL.
