My old one (not laminated) was falling apart, so I called the FCC to see if I really had to pay $60 to get a new one. Their policy is that if your old one is still legible enough for them to read the issue date, they'll issue you a new one for free. They could read mine (somehow), so now I have a new one with a 1989 grant date.

The link still works. I got mine in less than a week. 60 bucks seems a bit much.

Don't you also need one if you have HF in the aircraft? I always thought that was the case.

Splinting hairs but the FCC says you don't need a restricted radio license if the plane only transmits on VHF. So I think you could extend that to say if you're going to transmit on HF you need a radio license. But if an HF is installed but you not use it I'd say you don't need the FCC license.

Ha ha. I didn't even occur to me that one wouldn't have an HF if it wasn't going to be used. Good point, though.

Free!! Wasn't those the days, before the government started to carrier everyones assest, and now they charge for everything, that is unless you just want not to work, and then you could get it for FREE.. But I had lost mine and had to pay the $60 as well. Could not believe it...

Yes. Laminate it. It helps protect it and to my knowledge, there isn't a valid reason not to.

Keep those "guv'ment documents looking good !
