What is the required action if you lose your certificates?

If you lose your certificates, the appropriate action is to notify the FAA immediately. This step is essential because it ensures that your lost certificate is officially recorded, which helps prevent potential misuse. Reporting the loss allows the FAA to guide you through the process of obtaining a replacement certificate and ensures that your pilot records remain accurate and secure.

In circumstances where certificates are lost, it is crucial to act swiftly to maintain compliance with regulations and protect your credentials. Other options may not provide the immediate and official acknowledgment necessary to address the situation effectively.
