Does the FAA require change of address notification?
Ed Gauss
A pilot's license does not expire, so it stands to reason that many
of us have changed our address since we got ours. Does anyone know if
there is an FAA requirement that we notify them of an address change?
How is this done?

FAR 61.60: "The holder of a pilot or flight instructor certificate who
has made a change in his permanent mailing address may not after 30 days
from the date he has moved, exercise the privileges of his certificate
unless he has notified in writing the Department of Transportation,
Federal Aviation Administration, Airman Certification Branch, Box 25082,
Oklahoma City, OK 73125, of his new address."

FAR 61.60 "Change of Address"
The holder of a pilot or flight instructor certificate who has made a
change in his permanent mailing address may not after 30 days from the
date he moved, exercise the privileges of his certificate unless he
has notified in writing the Department of Transportation, Federal
Aviation Administration, Airman Certification Branch, Box 25082,
Oklahoma City, OK 73125, of his new address.
They do NOT mail you a new certificate. Your current one remains
valid, but you do have to tell them your new address. (But see below)
Some states, by the way, insist that you register with their
department of transportation, even to the extent of saying that it is
illegal for any state resident to exercise the rights of a pilot
unless registered with the state. I don't know if that would really
hold up in court, tho, since states don't really have the right to
regulate pilots. I still register with Illinois because (1) it only
costs $5 a year and (2) they send you a nifty book of state airports
complete with aerial pictures.
By the way, the FAA will, upon request, issue a new airman's
certificate with the new address, IF you send them money (don't
remember the exact amount but its in the $10 range).

Based on the accounts I've seen where failure to notify a specific
AVN department within the FAA concerning DWI convictions as opposed
to just reporting it on your medical application is considered a
violation of the FARs, I'd have to argue that the answer is "no".

$2 is the correct amount.

Been a while since you've reviewed the FARs?
FAR 61.69 Change of Address

has made a change in his permanent mailing address may
not after 30 days from the date he moved, exercise the
privileges of his certificate unless he has notified in

address. I haven't had to do it yet, so I am not sure of the process
to let them know your new address.

I guess...we sure wouldn't want two FAA departments actually
communicating with each other. God only knows where that might lead.

The address on file will be the one given on your last medical
application if you have not otherwise advised the FAA of an address
change. You can also call the Airman Certification Branch in
Oklahoma City at 405-954-3205 for info.

Just don't tell them *when* you moved. They have prosecuted people for
forgetting.

bravo sierra.
the reg states that you cannot exercise the priveledges of your cert.
past 30 days if you have not notified. if one has not been active
since a move, and decides to get active again, one need only notify
the faa prior to the exercise of the cert. (note that this is _not_
true for dui/dwi conviction notification, which is probably what
mr. patterson was remembering).

sufficient to satisfy the FAA beancounters for proper notification of
change of address...but that very address is the one that they will put
in their database. Sounds like the requirement is more for harassment
than for useful purposes to me.............

No, I simply got the strong impression from the post that the pilot had
been flying, which is what the FAR forbids. One of the questions on the
medical exam application is the amount of time flown as PIC since the
last one. If the original poster has not been acting as PIC, then there's
no problem; if he has, he shouldn't advertise the fact.

Looks like this thread is about 2 FAA Divisions in OK City, Medical and
Flight Standards. I don't think those Divisions share the same database
for counting their beans. I will try to bug some people I know to find
out more. Also mentioned was a Branch. I think Flight Standards has at
least 4 Branchs.
OK has all the official records I think, but looks like they are not
combined into one database.
It doesn't look like you can satisfy all of the FAA Divisions all of the
time, at least for now. I will do what I can to make it work better.

Who told you this? It is definitely NOT correct. The only way
it gets updated is by notifying FAA in writing or by getting a
new rating or certificate. I hope you have not moved and thought
a new medical would do it for you!

double-postcard, half of which they will validate and send back to you
to confirm that they've registered the change. Perhaps I'm paranoid,
but having the confirmation makes me breathe a little easier...
