  • What Do I Have To Show The FAA Inspector During A Ramp Check?
Published by Greg Reigel at July 19, 2013

During the course of a ramp check, the FAA inspector will ask to inspect/review a number of items. Here are some of the items you may need to produce during, or at some point shortly after, the ramp check:

  • Airman Certificate;
  • Current Medical Certificate;
  • U.S. Government Issued Photo ID;
  • Pilot Logbook or other documentation proving your currency for your intended flight;
  • Charts etc. current and appropriate for your intended flight;
  • Aircraft Registration;
  • Airworthiness Certificate;
  • Aircraft Operating Handbook or Flight manual, or Operating Limitations if the aircraft is a homebuilt aircraft;
  • Aircraft weight and balance information; and
  • Aircraft Logbooks.

Most pilots will never find themselves in a ramp check, due to the minimal manpower the FAA has available for ramp checks. However, if you find yourself in a ramp check, it is survivable. For a more detailed discussion about ramp checks, please read my article Surviving The Ramp Check.
