MLG FO FLYING WITH EXPIRED TEMPORARY CERTIFICATE. ADDRESS MIXUP AND PERMANENT NOT RECEIVED.

Narrative

GOT TYPE RATING ON ATP CERTIFICATE ON NOV/TUE/92. TEMPORARY CERTIFICATE EXPIRED 120 DAYS LATER. PRIOR TO EXPIRATION OF TEMPORARY CERTIFICATE; I HAD EXTENSION FAXED TO ME ON MAR/FRI/93. 2 DAYS LATER WHILE ENRTE ON TRIP; I DISCOVERED THAT EXTENSION TO THE TEMPORARY TO THE PERMANENT HAD EXPIRED. ORIGINAL PERMANENT CERTIFICATE WAS TAKEN FROM ME AT TIME OF TEMPORARY ISSUANCE. ON PREVIOUS PLT CERTIFICATES; I HAVE ALWAYS LISTED A POST OFFICE BOX AS A PERMANENT ADDRESS. AT THE ACR INSPECTOR'S INSISTANCE; A POST OFFICE BOX AND STREET NUMBER AND NAME WERE LISTED AS MY MAILING ADDRESS. I WAS LATER INFORMED BY THE POSTAL SVC THAT DUAL ADDRESSED MAIL IS RETURNED TO SENDER. BEFORE TEMPORARY EXPIRED; I CONTACTED FAA TO CORRECT THE ADDRESS PROB. I WAS TOLD ADDRESS CORRECTION WAS MADE AT THE TIME MY EXTENSION WAS FAXED TO ME. MORE THAN 60 DAYS HAVE PASSED SINCE CORRECTION WAS SUPPOSEDLY MADE BY FAA; AND I STILL DO NOT HAVE MY PERMANENT CERTIFICATE. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR STATES HE MADE MANY MORE CALLS TO OKC; RECEIVED FAX WITH EXTENSION OF TEMPORARY CERTIFICATE AGAIN. FINALLY RECEIVED PERMANENT COPY.
