So if an officer took your pilot certificate he could lose his job?

Also I was landing in BWG the other afternoon and I noticed there was a truck sitting by the first taxi way with lights and as soon as I got ready to turn off the lights came on. I was like wtf am I getting pulled over in an airplane, but then I heard them on the radio and it was the feds checking something out at the airport, needless to say I got out of there so I wouldn't have to answer any questions.

He just lost his job, NOBODY from the FAA can simply take your certificates away from you. They can do an emergency revocation, but that still takes about 7 days and comes in the mail. The same thing with a law enforcement officer. They want em? Don't argue, because they just got fired and if their bosses are smart they'll never screw with you again when you tell them what happened.

I know what you're sayin' John, but ain't nobody gettin' fired. They're gov't employees brotha. The worst they might get from a super is, "...you can't do that...". Pretty bad.

being ramp checked is really not as bad as people say. just dont do stupid things that are illegal and you wont have a problem. i lost count of how many times ive been ramped but its probably around 30. fsdo is on the field and thats their way of getting out and about. never had a problem. now there are some feds that dont have a flying background and have no clue what they are talking about. if they give you #### then call their supervisor or the head of their fsdo. anyway moral is dont fly when you shouldnt and you will be fine

I got ramp checked my third day of IOE. I wasn't even at the plane! I was eating lunch in CHO and flashed the ID and made me stop eating. There were two of them, it was good cop, bad cop to the extreme!!!

I had one a long time ago when I was a student pilot flying out of one of the DC3 airports. I was like, uh, what? You're coming HERE to do a ramp check, where everyone flying has passed a criminal background check with fingerprinting and an interview at the FSDO?

As a side note, certs. must be surrendered in writing. You can't just hand them over to the FAA, even if you want to.
