What To Do If Your Temporary Airman Certificate is Expiring Soon
Several reports have been received by the FAA pertaining to Temporary Airman Certificates that will expire while the Federal government is partially shut down. During the partial shutdown the FAA is not processing these certificates so there is a chance that the Temporary Airman Certificate that was issued will expire prior to receiving the permanent airman certificate.
You may check the status of your certificate on www.faa.gov and to request a temporary authority to exercise certificate privileges, which is valid for 60 days, via Airmen Online Services.
