While we were discussing the new Part 66 licences I mentioned that the FAA had updated theirs also.
A little over a year ago I had a rush to reapply for my FAA A&P and PPL in the new style. I was issued with the A&P but missed out on a new PPL.
I know others here are affected, I received a PM.
If you hold FAA licences you would need to re-apply and update them. I suspect the terms have relaxed in the past year...
The new Licences are plastic, holographic and credit card sized.
Details on the following sites.
