What documents are required for an FAA ramp inspection?

For an FAA ramp inspection, the required documents include the pilot's license, medical certificate, and a photo ID. This combination of documents is necessary because the ramp inspector needs to verify the pilot's qualifications and identity.

The pilot's license demonstrates that the individual is certified to operate the aircraft, while the medical certificate confirms that the pilot meets the health requirements set by the FAA. The photo ID, which can include a government-issued identification such as a driver's license, provides further verification of the pilot’s identity, ensuring that the individual presenting the license and medical certificate is indeed the authorized pilot.

These three documents together satisfy the regulatory requirements for identification and verification during a ramp inspection.
