FAA Airman Certificate Arrives

I passed my FAA checkride about three months ago. That day I was presented with my temporary license a paper duplicate of the original that is mailed into the FAA processing center. Although the privileges that came with the temporary license are great and equal to the actual license the document itself is less than impressive.

When I arrived home from work today and saw the envelope from the FAA I guessed what was inside. I was correct with my guess that it was my Private Pilot's License. It is neat to hold after all the work that I put into it the actual card.

I think I will have to celebrate by going flying this week!
