Do you fly internationally? If so, you'll need a new pilot certificate with the words "English Proficient" on it. The new certificate will be required for international flights starting March 5, when the International Civil Aviation Organization's language proficiency standards for operating internationally go into effect. The requirement applies to airplane and helicopter private, commercial, and airline transport pilots; flight engineers; and flight navigators. Pilots with a U.S.-issued certificate will not need to pass a language test, just request a replacement certificate from the FAA. The plastic replacement certificate will cost $2 and take seven to 10 days to be processed. All newly issued pilot certificates will have the endorsement.

Ramin,

Yes. I went on the FAA site and ordered a new certificate today. It's $2 and takes a few seconds online. This way you can be sure to avoid any hassels when you go.
