3. Have the knowledge and skills to approve those aircraft for return to service.
2.7.1.1 The course must teach a basic understanding of the regulations applicable to the privileges and limitations of the light-sport repairman certificate and the regulations relating to maintenance and inspection of the aircraft category and class (as applicable) to which the certificate applies.
2.7.1.2 To be issued a Certificate of Completion for the training, a student must complete the training and pass a written test, administered by the training course provider that covers the contents of the training course, pursuant to 14 CFR § 65.107(e).
2.7.1.3 Training course providers must deliver the training course using facilities, equipment, and materials appropriate to the training course taught, as required by 14 CFR § 65.107(e)(1).
2.7.1.4 Training course providers must deliver the training course using instructors that are appropriately qualified to teach the course content, as required by 14 CFR § 65.107(e)(2).
2.7.1.5 Maintenance rating glider category training must include training on both powered and unpowered gliders because the regulations do not differentiate between powered and unpowered gliders within the glider category pertaining to other airman certificates (e.g., by aircraft class or operational privileges).
2.7.1.5.1 Title 14 CFR § 65.107(g) permits training course providers to deliver glider training courses that were FAA-accepted prior to the first effective date of the MOSAIC final rule (90 days after publication in the Federal Register) up to the second effective date of the MOSAIC final rule (365 days after publication in the Federal Register). After such date, a training provider may only deliver a glider training course that has been accepted by the Administrator and that includes training course content on both powered and unpowered gliders.
2.7.1.5.2 A Certificate of Completion for glider maintenance training that was issued to a student prior to the second effective date of the MOSAIC final rule will continue to provide eligibility for a maintenance rating with glider category privileges. The training, and corresponding Certificate of Completion, do not expire.
Note: The course requirements and course content for a maintenance rating training course are discussed in Chapters 3 and 4. A list of current FAA-accepted training courses is available at https://www.faa.
gov/aircraft/gen_av/light_sport/LSA_repairmen_courses. Concerns with an FAA-accepted training course or with course provider delivery of a training course can be directed to the FAA Aircraft Maintenance Division at 9-AWA-AFS-300-Correspondence@faa.gov or to a FSDO.
2-10
2.7.2 Certificate of Completion for a Maintenance Rating Training Course. Under 14 CFR § 65.107(e)(3), training course providers must issue each student a Certificate of Completion after the student has completed the training required for a maintenance rating and passed the required written test. Therefore, a Certificate of Completion, issued by a training course provider for completion of an FAA-accepted training course in accordance with 14 CFR § 65.107(e)(3), is evidence of completion of the training course and passage of the written test. The Certificate of Completion is a means to demonstrate to the FAA that an applicant has met the requirements for the certificate or rating. The training provider must issue a Certificate of Completion that includes, at least, the:
• Student’s name;
• Name of the training provider;
• FAA course acceptance number;
• Rating applicable to the training course (in this case, maintenance rating);
• Aircraft category and class (as applicable) the training was based on (e.g., airplane, glider, rotorcraft–gyroplane, etc.); and
• Date of training completion.
2.7.2.1 A Certificate of Completion issued by a training course provider for an FAA-accepted light-sport repairman training course does not expire. While a training course may expire (as stated in the course’s FAA Letter of Acceptance (LOA)) or no longer be offered by the course provider, training completed prior to the course expiration date (if applicable) will continue to provide eligibility towards a light-sport repairman certificate.
2.8 Privileges and Limitations of a Maintenance Rating. The privileges and limitations of a light-sport repairman certificate with a maintenance rating are prescribed in 14 CFR § 65.109(b). Unlike an inspection rating, the holder of a certificate with a maintenance rating is not required to own the aircraft on which the repairman may exercise the privileges of the certificate. The holder of a maintenance rating has certificate privileges that extend to any aircraft within the aircraft category and class (as applicable) on which the repairman was trained. The limitations of the certificate depend on the type of Airworthiness Certificate issued to the aircraft, as well as additional limitations, as described in the paragraphs below.
Note: A light-sport repairman does not have certificate privileges to supervise noncertificated persons, as permitted other CHs under 14 CFR § 43.3(d).
Light-sport repairmen with a maintenance rating may supervise others as permitted in 14 CFR § 65.109(c), which only permits the supervision of certificated persons.
2.8.1 Summary of Maintenance Rating Privileges and Limitations. Table 2-2, Repairman Certificate (Light-Sport) Maintenance Rating Summary of Privileges and Limitations, provides a summary of the privileges and limitations of a light-sport repairman certificate with a maintenance rating.
2-11 Table 2-2. Repairman Certificate (Light-Sport) Maintenance Rating Summary of Privileges and Limitations Repairman Certificate (Light-Sport) Maintenance Rating Summary of Privileges and Limitations (14 CFR § 65.109(b)) Airworthiness Certification Basis Special Airworthiness Certificate:
Experimental Airworthiness Certificate:
Light-Sport Category Aircraft (14 CFR § 21.190) Operating amateur-built aircraft (14 CFR § 21.191(g)).
Operating light-sport aircraft (14 CFR § 21.191(i)(1), (2), or (3)).
Operating light-sport category kit-built aircraft (14 CFR § 21.191(k)).
Operating former light-sport category aircraft (14 CFR § 21.191(l)).
Privileges Approve for return to service after performing or inspecting maintenance, preventive maintenance, or an alteration.
Perform annual condition inspection required by the operating limitations issued to the aircraft.
Limitations The aircraft must be in the same category of aircraft (e.g., airplane, rotorcraft, glider, etc.) and class (as applicable) (e.g., helicopter, gyroplane, etc.), for which the holder has completed the training specified in 14 CFR § 65.107(d).
Before performing a major repair, the holder must complete additional training acceptable to the FAA and appropriate to the repair performed.
To approve for return to service, the repairman must have previously performed the work concerned satisfactorily.
To exercise the privileges of the certificate, the repairman must understand the current instructions of the manufacturer and the maintenance manuals for the specific operation concerned.
2.8.2 Maintenance Rating Privileges For Light-Sport Category Aircraft Certificated Under 14 CFR § 21.190. When trained on a specific aircraft category and class (as applicable), the holder of a light-sport repairman certificate with a maintenance rating may approve aircraft in that aircraft category and class (as applicable) for return to service after:
• Performing or inspecting maintenance, preventive maintenance, or an alteration.
• Performing the annual condition inspection or a 100-hour inspection required by 14 CFR § 91.327.
• Performing and inspecting a major alteration or a major repair. Before performing a major repair, the repairman must receive additional training acceptable to the FAA (see paragraph 2.8.5 for additional information.)
2-12
2.8.2.1 The privileges of a light-sport repairman certificate and rating exclude approval for return to service following a major repair or a major alteration done on a product produced under an FAA approval (e.g., such as products with an FAA type design, type certificate (TC), Supplemental Type Certificate (STC), Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA), and Technical Standard Order (TSO)). Only an FAA-certificated repair station or mechanic holding an inspection authorization (IA) may approve for return to service following a major repair or a major alteration on a product produced under an FAA approval, as specified in 14 CFR §§ 43.7 and 65.95(a)(1).
2.8.2.2 A light-sport repairman may not inspect or maintain an aircraft holding a Standard Airworthiness Certificate. Light-sport repairman privileges do not extend to the performance or approval of maintenance on aircraft issued a Standard Airworthiness Certificate, regardless of whether the aircraft can be operated by the holder of a sport pilot certificate (e.g., Piper J-3 Cub, Aeronca Champ, Taylorcraft). Title 14 CFR §§ 43.3 and 43.7 state who may perform or approve work on aircraft to which 14 CFR part 43 applies.
2.8.3 Maintenance Rating Privileges For Aircraft with an Experimental Airworthiness Certificate Issued Under 14 CFR § 21.191.
2.8.3.1 When trained on the aircraft category and class (as applicable) the holder of a light-sport repairman certificate with a maintenance rating may perform the annual condition inspection, or 100-hour inspection (as permitted in 14 CFR § 91.319(g)) on any aircraft in that category and class (as applicable) if the aircraft has an experimental certificate issued under:
• Title 14 CFR § 21.191(g) (operating amateur-built aircraft),
• Title 14 CFR § 21.191(i)(1), (2), or (3) (operating light-sport aircraft),
• Title 14 CFR § 21.191(k) (operating light-sport category kit-built aircraft), or
• Title 14 CFR § 21.191(l) (operating former light-sport category aircraft).
Note: A light-sport repairman may not inspect or maintain an aircraft holding a Standard Airworthiness Certificate. Light-sport repairman privileges do not extend to the performance or approval of maintenance on aircraft issued a Standard Airworthiness Certificate, regardless of whether the aircraft can be operated by the holder of a sport pilot certificate (e.g., Piper J-3 Cub, Aeronca Champ, Taylorcraft).
2.8.4 Additional Maintenance Rating Limitations. Title 14 CFR § 65.109 includes the following additional limitations to holders of a light-sport repairman certificate with a maintenance rating:
2-13
2.8.4.1 As specified in 14 CFR § 65.109(b)(3), the repairman may only perform maintenance, preventive maintenance, and alterations on an aircraft that is in the same category and class (as applicable) of aircraft for which the holder has completed the training specified in 14 CFR § 65.107(d).
2.8.4.2 As specified in 14 CFR § 65.109(b)(3), before performing a major repair, the repairman must complete additional training acceptable to the FAA and appropriate to the repair performed. See paragraph 2.8.5 below for additional discussion on major repair training acceptable to the FAA.
2.8.4.3 As specified in 14 CFR § 65.109(c), a light-sport repairman with a maintenance rating may not approve for return to service any aircraft or part thereof unless that person has previously performed the work concerned satisfactorily.
2.8.4.3.1 If that person has not previously performed that work, the person may show the ability to do the work by performing it to the satisfaction of the FAA, or by performing it under the direct supervision of a certificated and appropriately rated mechanic, or a certificated repairman, who has had previous experience in the specific operation concerned.
2.8.4.3.2 See paragraph 2.8.6 below for additional discussion on how a repairman may show their ability to the satisfaction of the FAA.
2.8.4.3.3 As specified in 14 CFR § 65.109(c), the repairman may not exercise the privileges of the certificate unless the repairman understands the current instructions of the manufacturer and the maintenance manuals for the specific operation concerned.
2.8.5 Major Repair Training Acceptable to the FAA.
2.8.5.1 Before performing a major repair on a light-sport category aircraft, a light-sport repairman with a maintenance rating must complete additional training acceptable to the FAA and appropriate to the repair performed, in accordance with 14 CFR § 65.109(b)(3).
2.8.5.2 The FAA finds major repair training acceptable to the FAA when it is training identified by the aircraft manufacturer as applicable to a certain repair or training identified by a person acceptable to the FAA who authorized a specific repair.
Note: See paragraph 2.8.5.4 for a description of “a person acceptable to the FAA” as used in 14 CFR § 91.327.
2.8.5.3 There may be other training the FAA finds acceptable. The FAA would consider training that is commensurate with the knowledge and expertise provided by the manufacturer to be acceptable, provided the training is:
2-14
• Appropriate to the product being repaired;
• Directly applicable to the repair being made; and
• Not contrary to manufacturer’s data.
2.8.5.4 The term “a person acceptable to the FAA,” as used in 14 CFR § 91.327, includes the following persons:
• A person who has assumed the original manufacturer’s responsibilities.
• An FAA design approval holder for a product or part installed on the aircraft.
• A person authorized by the manufacturer.
• A person meeting an industry developed, FAA-accepted, consensus standard that sets forth standards for third-party modifiers and modifications.
2.8.6 Certificate Limitation—Previously Performed the Work Satisfactorily. Title 14 CFR § 65.109(c) specifies that a light-sport repairman with a maintenance rating may not approve for return to service any aircraft or part thereof unless that person has previously performed the work concerned satisfactorily. This satisfactory performance can include that which was done during training, provided the training involved actual hands-on experience, rather than just theoretical instruction, of the work concerned. The regulation mandates that the repairman must have personally completed the task before and does not restrict fulfilling this requirement through training. If a light-sport repairman certificate holder with a maintenance rating has not previously performed a specific maintenance task satisfactorily, the repairman cannot approve that task for return to service according to 14 CFR § 65.109(c). If a repairman has not satisfactorily performed the work before, they have two options:
2.8.6.1 The recommended method for meeting 14 CFR § 65.109(c) is for the repairman to perform the work under the direct supervision of a certificated and appropriately rated mechanic, or light-sport repairman, who has had previous experience in the specific operation concerned. Once the repairman has satisfactorily performed the specific work (evidenced by its approval for return to service by a qualified mechanic or repairman), the repairman would be considered qualified to perform and approve for return to service that same work in the future.
Note: Title 14 CFR § 43.9 requires a maintenance record entry to include the name of the person performing the work, if other than the person who is approving the work for return to service.
2.8.6.2 An alternative to the method described in paragraph 2.8.6.1 is for a certificated repairman to show the ability to do the work by performing it to the satisfaction of the FAA.
2-15
2.9 How to Apply for a Repairman Certificate (Light-Sport).
2.9.1 Application Form. After completing the required training, passing the written test, and receiving a Certificate of Completion, an individual who seeks a light-sport repairman certificate must fill out FAA Form 8610-3, Airman Certificate and/or Rating Application – Repairman (14 CFR Part 65), to apply for the certificate in accordance with the general application requirements of 14 CFR part 65 (14 CFR § 65.11).
2.9.1.1 The form is available at https://www.faa.gov/forms. Enter the form number “8610-3” into the search field.
2.9.1.2 The applicant should read all of the supplemental information included with the form:
• Paperwork Reduction Act Burden Statement.
• Privacy Act Statement.
• Pilot’s Bill of Rights Written Notification of Investigation.
• Instructions for Completing FAA Form 8610-3.
2.9.1.3 The applicant should follow the instructions for completing the form, included in the form’s supplemental pages. The applicant should sign Section IV, Applicant’s Certification, at the time the application is submitted to the FAA.
The applicant’s signature certifies that all statements and answers provided by the applicant are complete and true and the applicant has received and understands the Pilot’s Bill of Rights Written Notification of Investigation and Privacy Act Statement.
2.9.1.4 The applicant should have the following additional documents available for reference when filling out the application and for FAA review during the certification process:
• Government-issued photo identification, such as a state-issued driver’s license or a U.S. passport, for verification of identity and nationality of the applicant.
• A Certificate of Completion, issued by the light-sport repairman training course provider, to demonstrate completion of the training course and passage of the required written course test.
2.9.1.5 While it is preferable the applicant presents the Certificate of Completion that was issued by the training course provider, 14 CFR § 65.107(c) permits an applicant to submit other documentary evidence satisfactory to the Administrator of the training course completion and passage of the written course test. Acceptable documentation must demonstrate both course completion and passing of the course test and the documentary evidence
2-16 shoul d include, at a minimum, equivalent information as that required to be included on a Certificate of Completion (see paragraphs 2.5.2 a nd 2.7.2) .
2.9.1.5.1 For example, course transcripts and a letter from a training course provider indicating passage of the course test and including the information required by 14 CFR § 65.107(e)(3) would provide acceptable documentation in lieu of the Certificate of Completion.
2.9.2 U.S. Agent for Service. Title 14 CFR part 3 subpart C requires that individuals who have a foreign address and no U.S. physical address of record on file with the FAA must designate a U.S. agent for service if they apply for, or hold, a certificate, rating, or authorization issued under 14 CFR part 47, 61, 63, 65, 67, or 107.
2.9.2.1 When applying for a light-sport repairman certificate, if a repairman applicant does not have a U.S. physical address, the applicant must designate an agent for service in the United States. The applicant’s physical address must be entered in block J1 of FAA Form 8610-3 when making application. The applicant must follow the form instructions on what is an appropriate address for block J1.
2.9.2.2 Refer to Advisory Circular (AC) 3-1, U.S. Agents for Service on Individuals with Foreign Addresses Who Hold or Apply for Certain Certificates, Ratings, or Authorizations, for information on how to designate a U.S. agent for service.
Note: Agent for service information is not entered on FAA Form 8610-3.
2.9.2.3 Individuals must update their U.S. agent for service designation or the U.S. agent’s contact information within 30 days of any change pursuant to 14 CFR § 3.303(c). Refer to AC 3-1 for procedures on updating U.S. agent for service designation.
2.9.2.4 By July 7, 2025, all airmen who do not have a U.S. physical address of record on file with the FAA must designate a U.S. agent for service pursuant to 14 CFR § 3.303(d). Individuals who fail to timely designate a U.S. agent for service and comply with the requirements under 14 CFR part 3 subpart C may not exercise the privileges of any certificate, rating, or authorization issued under 14 CFR parts 47, 61, 63, 65, 67, or 107.
2.9.3 Submittal to the FAA. Applicants may submit their completed application to a Flight Standards (FS) aviation safety inspector (ASI) for review. To arrange a meeting with an ASI, the applicant must contact an FS office, see paragraph 2.9.3.2. The applicant must bring one copy of the completed FAA Form 8610-3 and the information listed in paragraph 2.9.1.4 to allow the ASI to verify the applicant’s eligibility for the certificate and rating.
2-17
2.9.3.1 The FAA may permit the use of remote technology instead of in-person appointments in certain situations. Applicants should discuss their preferences with FAA personnel. While FAA personnel will attempt to accommodate these preferences, certain factors might necessitate the FAA specifying the required type of appointment.
2.9.3.2 Location and contact information for FAA FS offices can be found at https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/field_offices/fsdo/, or, if you are an applicant outside of the United States, at https://www.faa.gov/about/office_or g/field_offices/ifo.
2.9.4 FAA Review. The ASI will review and verify the application information through the additional documents presented. The ASI may annotate certain information from the applicant’s supporting documents in the “Remarks” section of the form. The FAA will make a copy of the training course Certificate of Completion (or other documentary evidence) and will return all original supporting documents to the applicant.
2.9.4.1 The ASI will complete and sign Section VI, FAA Examiner’s Report, after the ASI has verified the applicant’s eligibility for the requested certificate or rating.
2.9.4.2 If a temporary certificate is issued on the same day the application is reviewed and the applicant signed Section IV, the applicant will not need to sign the application again. However, if the temporary certificate is issued on a date after the applicant signed Section IV, then the applicant will be asked to answer the questions and certify the application again in Section V, Applicant’s Certification, on that date.
2.9.4.3 If the repairman would like the FAA to mail their permanent certificate to an address that is different from Section I, Applicant’s Information, block J1 or J2 on page 1 of the application, the repairman may provide instructions in the application’s “Remarks” section on page 2 for mailing the permanent certificate to an alternate address. Otherwise, the certificate is mailed to the address in block J2. Regardless, the address identified in block J2 of the application is displayed on the permanent certificate.
2.9.5 Certificate Issuance. After completing the appropriate entries, the ASI will issue 2 copies of the Temporary Airman Certificate (i.e., FAA Form 8060-4). One copy of the Temporary Airman Certificate is issued to the repairman and serves as a valid repairman certificate for 120 days.
2.9.5.1 The ASI will send the second copy of the Temporary Airman Certificate, along with the completed FAA Form 8610-3, to the FAA’s Airmen Certification Branch. The repairman may request a copy of the completed application form for their own records; however, the original is a part of the FAA certification file.
2-18
2.9.5.2 The FAA Airmen Certification Branch will review the certification file to ensure all required information is included and will then issue and mail the permanent repairman certificate to the airman. As stated in 14 CFR § 65.15(a), a repairman certificate (light-sport) is effective until it is surrendered, suspended, or revoked.
2.9.5.3 The repairman should contact the issuing FAA office for assistance if the repairman has not received a permanent certificate before the expiration of the temporary certificate (i.e., 120 days after issuance).
2.10 Certificate Changes. When the information shown on a certificate changes, the certificate may be amended to show the new information. An amendment to a certificate is required if the repairman requests to add a rating or aircraft category privileges to the certificate or if the repairman requests a change of information on the certificate, such as to their name or nationality, or if an error has been made.
2.10.1 Amendment Request. An applicant may request to amend their certificate by submitting FAA Form 8610-3 as discussed in paragraph 2.9. There is no fee for FAA processing of a certificate amendment. The repairman must have their currently issued certificate available at the time of issuance of the changed certificate. When a certificate is amended, the applicant’s existing permanent certificate will be superseded by a temporary repairman certificate with the amended information. The amended certification file will be forwarded to and reviewed by the FAA Airmen Certification Branch to ensure all required information is included and will then issue and mail the amended permanent repairman certificate to the airman.
Note: A certificate downgrade (i.e., a request to remove a rating, category privilege, or specific aircraft privileges from a repairman certificate) is a surrender of that rating or privilege, completed as described in paragraph 2.10.7.
2.10.2 Adding a Rating or Aircraft Category or Class Privileges. An airman may request to add a rating or aircraft category and class (as applicable) privileges to their light-sport repairman certificate by completing the appropriate training course and passing the required course test. In the top section of FAA Form 8610-3, the applicant should mark the “Added Rating/Privileges” box and follow the form instructions for completing the application. The applicant must sign Section IV.
2.10.2.1 In this case, the amended certificate is issued with the new certificate title of “Repairman (Light-Sport),” new category privileges, and applicable class limitations, and no fee is charged.
2.10.2.2 If the airman/applicant completes training and requests privileges on all classes within the category, the category privilege is listed on the certificate without any class limitations.
2.10.3 Removing Aircraft Information (N-number, S/N). The FAA no longer lists certificate privilege limitations by N-number and S/N on light-sport repairman certificates with an inspection rating. A light-sport repairman with an inspection rating is limited to
2-19 performing work on aircraft owned by the repairman, and additional certificate limitations described in 14 CFR § 65.107(c). A repairman may request to remove the N-number and S/N listing on their certificate by requesting a replacement certificate. If a repairman adds aircraft category privileges, and applicable class limitations, to their current inspection rating, the amended certificate will be issued without aircraft N-number or S/N details.
2.10.4 Change to Applicant Information. If seeking changes or corrections to applicant information (e.g., name, nationality) due to changes or error, the applicant must complete Section I, Applicant Information, in its entirety using the new information (i.e., the information to change on the certificate), and sign the applicant’s certification in Section IV. In the top section of the form, the applicant should mark “Other” and enter the verbiage, as applicable, to identify the specific change(s) being made/requested.
2.10.5 Supporting Documentation. Table 2-3, Supporting Documentation, outlines the additional supporting documentation the applicant should provide the FAA to validate a request for a change of information on the repairman certificate.
Table 2-3. Supporting Documentation Type of Change/ References Documents Needed to Support the Change Added Rating or Added Category Privileges 14 CFR §§ 65.107, 65.109
• Documented evidence of completion of the required training and exam (e.g., the Certificate of Completion issued by the training course provider).
Name 14 CFR § 65.16
• Marriage license,
• Court order,
• Passport, or
• Other legal document verifying the name change.
Citizenship/Nationality 14 CFR § 65.107(b)(3)
• Naturalization Certificate,
• U.S. passport, or
• U.S permanent or conditional resident card.
Date of Birth • Birth certificate, or
• Other legal document that verifies the applicant’s correct date of birth.
2.10.6 Superseded Certificates. Issuance of an amended airman certificate results in the previously issued airman certificate (with the same certificate number) being superseded by the newly issued airman certificate. The superseded certificate (i.e., the certificate with the old information) will be destroyed by the FAA. The FAA uses the following methods of destruction:
2.10.6.1 Hole Punch. When the repairman would like to retain the superseded certificate, the FAA will punch a hole through the holographic FAA emblem
2-20 in the lower right-hand corner of the certificate with a hole punch. The destroyed certificate is no longer effective and will be returned to the repairman.
2.10.6.2 Shredding. When the repairman does not wish to retain the superseded certificate, the FAA will destroy the certificate by shredding using a cross-cut model shredder or putting it in a lockable bin designated specifically for the destruction of sensitive material.
2.10.7 Certificate Surrender. A repairman may voluntarily surrender their repairman certificate or request a downgrade (surrender a rating or category privilege) to a certificate for a variety of reasons. A certificate surrender can be made by contacting a FS office (see paragraph 2.9.3.2 for FAA contact information) and completing and signing a statement that specifies the certificate and/or ratings being surrendered. There are two types of voluntary surrender: voluntary surrender for cancellation and voluntary surrender for downgrade:
2.10.7.1 Voluntary Surrender for Cancellation. When a repairman voluntarily surrenders a certificate for cancellation, the FAA will request that the repairman complete and sign a statement specifying the details of the surrender. The statement includes acknowledgement that the repairman has no right to reissuance of the certificate other than by meeting all applicable eligibility and application requirements. In other words, if an airman sought to obtain the same certificate after voluntary surrender, the airman would be required to meet all eligibility requirements. The FAA notes that training completed and used to obtain the original certificate may be valid and applicable to obtain a new certificate.
2.10.7.2 Voluntary Surrender for Downgrade. When an airman voluntarily surrenders a rating or aircraft category and class (as applicable) privilege listed on their certificate, the FAA will request that the airman fill out and sign a statement specifying the surrendered ratings or privileges. The statement includes acknowledgement that the repairman has no right to reissuance of the rating or privileges, other than by meeting all applicable eligibility and application requirements again. The airman will be issued a Temporary Airman Certificate for rating and aircraft category privileges, and class limitations as applicable, privileges that were not surrendered.
2.10.8 Replacement of an Airman Certificate (14 CFR § 65.16). A light-sport repairman may request a replacement certificate if their permanent certificate is lost, destroyed, or for other reasons discussed below. The following methods can be used to request a replacement certificate. There is a $2.00 fee charged for each replacement certificate.
Refer to the Airmen Certification web page on the FAA website at https://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/airmen_certification for additional information on requesting a certificate replacement.
