How long is a certified pilot entitled to exercise the privileges of their pilot certificate after changing their permanent mailing address without notifying the FAA?

A certified pilot is entitled to exercise the privileges of their pilot certificate for 30 days after changing their permanent mailing address without notifying the FAA. This provision is established to allow pilots a brief grace period to update their information, ensuring that they can continue to operate legally while they take the necessary steps to notify the FAA of their address change. After this 30-day period, failure to update the mailing address could result in the pilot not being in compliance with FAA regulations, thereby potentially affecting their ability to exercise the privileges of their certificate.

While there may be different periods mentioned in the other options, they do not reflect the established grace period provided by the FAA. Pilots must ensure that their personal information is current to maintain the validity of their certificates and comply with regulatory requirements.
