Section 61.3 describes required documents which must be in your possession for you to act as PIC (or whatever). here's a sample:
61.3(a) Pilot certificate. A person may not act as pilot flight crewmember in command or in any other capacity as a required pilot of a civil aircraft of U.S. registry, unless that person has a valid pilot certificate or special purpose pilot authorization issued under this part in that person's physical possession or readily accessible in the aircraft when exercising the privileges of that pilot certificate or authorization. 61.51(i) Presentation of required documents. (1) Persons must present their pilot certificate, medical certificate, logbook, or any other record required by this part for inspection upon a reasonable request by-- (i) The Administrator; (ii) An authorized representative from the National Transportation Safety Board; or (iii) Any Federal, State, or local law enforcement officer. So it doesn't have to be the FAA... Here's the "Hoover clause", note paragraph (b) Sec. 61.27 Voluntary surrender or exchange of certificate. (a) The holder of a certificate issued under this part may voluntarily surrender it for: (1) Cancellation; (2) Issuance of a lower grade certificate; or (3) Another certificate with specific ratings deleted. (b) Any request made under paragraph (a) of this section must include the following signed statement or its equivalent: "This request is made for my own reasons, with full knowledge that my (insert name of certificate or rating, as appropriate) may not be reissued to me unless I again pass the tests prescribed for its issuance." So now you get to decide if it's voluntary or not. > -----Original Message----- > From: R.J.
