If a certificated pilot changes permanent mailing address and fails to notify the FAA Airmen Certification Branch, how long is the privilege period?

• A. 7 days
• B. 30 days
• C. 60 days
• D. 90 days

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that pilots must report a change of permanent mailing address to the FAA Airmen Certification Branch within 30 days. The “privilege period” refers to that 30-day window allowed for updating FAA records after moving. If the notification isn’t made within this 30-day period, the FAA records won’t reflect the new address, which can affect how official communications and certificate records are handled. So, the privilege period is 30 days.
