Paper Certificate needs to be replaced

By
This news caught me by surprise.

Pilots cannot exercise the privileges of their PAPER pilot certificates after March 31, 2010.
Certificates issued under 14 CFR Part 63 and 65 will expire March 31, 2013.

FAR 61.19(h) reads:
Duration of pilot certificates. Except for a temporary certificate issued under §61.17 or a student pilot certificate issued under paragraph (b) of this section, the holder of a paper pilot certificate issued under this part may not exercise the privileges of that certificate after March 31, 2010.

There is normally a $2 charge but there is no charge if you have the FAA remove your SSN from the certificate.

Mike

    Begin forwarded message: From: beck8@comcast.net Subject: British Imperial Airways 1930's Date: January 14, 2014 10:36:14 PM EST            British Imperial Airways 1930's Flying the airlines in the thirties was a lot more fun than it is now. It was more leisurely and had more class. Certain elitist and anti-British people have no time for these period "rich types". People like these, the risk takers (especially with their own money) were the backbone of the UK. They flew from the first airline operations across the Channel in 1919.   If people had serious money in the 1930s and traveled internationally, they may well have flown on one of these large (130 foot wingspan) Handley Page bi-plane aircraft, which were the mainstay of British Imperial Airways at the time. They carried 26 passengers in fi...

A Saturday at the Club House

Some of you are aware that we were attempting to do some Young Eagle flights  tomorrow morning. That fell through since the organization we were working with had a change of heart, so it will be business as usual for the EAA 650 Saturday morning hangar flying session at the club house.  For those of you who were weren't aware Jerry received his Wright Brothers Master Pilot award given by the FAA for pilots who have flown for over 50 years of accident/incident free flying.  This was a surprise ceremony following Jerry's presentation on flying in Vietnam complete with training aids! Jerry also prepard a breakfast casserole as well as a birthday cake with ice cream since it was just a few days past his birthday. Here is a press release I sent out to the local papers. If there is a slow news day Jerry will be added as filler right before the want adds! Jerry Harkin EAA 650 Club president was recently surprised by a visit from the FAA. ...

Gold Morning to Everyone As most of you know we have moved the wings for our Taylorcraft from the clubhouse to the hangar to prepare the wings, along with the fuselage, to be painted. The move was pretty easy as you can see from the photo. The problem is that as the wings were being sanded and prepared for paint we found many areas that needed to be patched and discovered that the nav light wiring was never connected in the wing. The wing was rewired and the patches are complete and the fuselage has been sanded, the new seat installed and the engine cowlings are installed and look great. We are on schedule for paint in August at the aircraft paint shop.   Another surprise was the price of paint and the associated materials that go along with painting a fabric airplane. Unfortunately we do not have enough in our account to cover the cost of buying paint and paying the painter so I am again asking for a donation from the Chapter members to help us complete the re...
