New Design for Mechanic and Repairman Certificates
Notice Number: NOTC4498


On January 1, 2013, the Airmen Certification branch of the FAA will begin issuing Mechanic and Repairman certificates with a new design on the back of the certificate honoring Charles Taylor.

Since the introduction of the updated airman certificate in 2003, the Mechanic and Repairman community have requested that FAA issue a certificate that represents the contributions of Mr. Charles E. Taylor, who served as the Wright brothers’ mechanic and was credited with building the engine for the 1903 Wright Flyer.

The new design will be printed on all original and replacement airman certificates issued after January 1, 2013, to Mechanics, Repairmen, Repairmen (Experimental Aircraft Builder), and Repairmen (Light Sport Aircraft).

Mechanic and Repairman certificate holders are not required to replace their current plastic certificate.
An airman may, if they wish, obtain the new style Mechanic / Repairman certificate with Mr.Taylor’s
likeness by submitting a $2.00 replacement fee by visiting the Registry’s website
( http://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/airmen_certification/ ), by mailing a signed replacement request, or by completing an application for an added rating or other change.

Instructions are on the Registry's website.

We appreciate your contribution to aviation safety; have a safe New Year!

Warmest regards, Dan Ramos

An Important SoCAL Message from the FAA

FAA Safety Team I Safer Skies Through Education


A&P Certificate Replacement
Notice Number: NOTC4449


If you have already replaced your paper A&P certificate, then this message is Not for you.

On the other hand, if your A&P certificate is still printed on paper, please read carefully.
The FAA is under a mandate to replace all paper certificates with plastic certificates.
If you do not replace your paper certificate on or before March 31, 2013,
you will no longer be able to exercise your privileges!

All certificated Airmen, including mechanics, repairmen, pilots, etc., are required to
replace their paper copy with a plastic copy, or they will no longer
be able to exercise the privileges of that certificate.

The best way to get a new replacement certificate is to follow the instructions at http://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/airmen_certification/certificate_replacement/.

The replacement cost is $2.00, unless you still have your Social Security Number
on your certificate and you ask to have it removed.

Avoid the Rush! Apply today! warmest regards, Dan Ramos
