I think this page needs some rewriting. First, it does not mention Part 141. Second, I don't think it is necessary to duplicate the FAR, since it is available online and is in theory subject to change. I would add a discussion of the value of the certificate, and the restrictions for Part 91 operations. And there are some grammar fixes.

Then it needs to be harmonized with the Private and Instrument rating descriptions. Also, the Private certificate is described on overlapping ways on the Private Pilot License page and the Aviator page, so that should be tidied up.

I'll leave this a few days to see if anyone comments. DavidBrooks 20:25, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Licence spelling

Explanation: in the spring of 2005 there was some discussion between US/Canada/UK editors over the spelling of Licen[cs]e. At the same time, the existing articles were getting unwieldy as they were describing differing licensing schemes in several English-speaking countries. So we created separate articles for different jurisdictions. Then, in index articles like this, the compromise position was that the UK spelling should be used because the correct word in the US is "certificate"; the word "license" has no formal meaning.

And, of course, the de interwiki has to use the de spelling. David Brooks
