Certificate of Aviation Spouse Proficiency (Personalized)

Pre-order: Ships no later than November 5 (hopefully sooner). You'll be charged at checkout.

Shipping: Orders that include a certificate ship by USPS Ground Advantage, in one box with any books in your order.

For the spouse who has heard every story. The Household Aviation Authority certifies the spouse at their earned rating, from the spouse ratings in Married to a Pilot:

• Student Spouse: has heard the first solo story once
• Private Spouse: attended one fly-in; ate a pancake
• Instrument Spouse: can sit through a 30-minute IFR story with no visual references
• Commercial Spouse: has been paid back in $100 hamburgers
• Multi-Engine Spouse: has survived two pilots talking at once
• Rotorcraft Spouse: married to a helicopter pilot
• Airline Transport Spouse: can tell a TAF from a METAR
• Spouse Examiner: 25+ years of service

Most spouses advance one rating per year of marriage, which makes this a natural anniversary gift: upgrade them every year.

Personalized for you. Choose the rating, then enter the spouse's name, your name and the date of issue. The signature line is left blank so the pilot can sign it as the Designated Examiner.

• 8 × 10 in, printed on heavy cream cardstock

• Certificate number for the rating (for example ATS-2026-1225)
