rbridges Posted August 30, 2012 Report Posted August 30, 2012 not a big deal, but struck me as odd. I got an email yesterday, and he said the TSA came by our local airport. I don't know if they requested it, but he said he needed a copy of my passport or birth certificate and my pilots license to keep on file. just wondering if that's typical. I'm planning on bringing it, but just wondering if anybody else has been asked for this stuff. Quote

Antoni Deighton Posted August 30, 2012 Report Posted August 30, 2012 If you read the TSA website (and AOPA's clarification), it says it's only necessary for initial private applicants and not required for recurrent training or additional certifications or ratings. What am I missing? Quote

mooneysteve Posted August 30, 2012 Report Posted August 30, 2012 Quote: flight2000 Nothing that I'm aware of. TSA came through my home drome in Kansas about a week before I got there and didn't ask to see my paperwork from the CFI I use for recurrent training. I believe your interpretation is correct based on my experience. Some CFI's may not understand it fully and just ask for everyone's to cover their butt... could be the other way around with the TSA bubba as well. Brian Quote

carusoam Posted September 1, 2012 Report Posted September 1, 2012 Back in the early 90's, the same data was requested. It was post the first Iraqui war. It seemed very unusual for the time. Only thing different, it was a paper file under lock and key? -a- Quote
