Narrative:

After flying 6 legs I was ramped in roc, ny, by local FSDO. Could not produce license or medical. The day before I had an interview with another commuter and had placed my license and medical along with the other paperwork required for the interview. I forgot to return them to my wallet before going back on the line. (I did check my flight bag for my wallet before leaving the house, but did not check inside my wallet). I think the fact that a pilot could be violated and have a mark on his license forever over something like this that did not compromise safety in any way is crazy!

Title: CAPT RAMP CHKED BY ACI UNABLE TO PRODUCE HIS LICENSE AND MEDICAL CERTIFICATES. OOPS!

Narrative: AFTER FLYING 6 LEGS I WAS RAMPED IN ROC, NY, BY LCL FSDO. COULD NOT PRODUCE LICENSE OR MEDICAL. THE DAY BEFORE I HAD AN INTERVIEW WITH ANOTHER COMMUTER AND HAD PLACED MY LICENSE AND MEDICAL ALONG WITH THE OTHER PAPERWORK REQUIRED FOR THE INTERVIEW. I FORGOT TO RETURN THEM TO MY WALLET BEFORE GOING BACK ON THE LINE. (I DID CHK MY FLT BAG FOR MY WALLET BEFORE LEAVING THE HOUSE, BUT DID NOT CHK INSIDE MY WALLET). I THINK THE FACT THAT A PLT COULD BE VIOLATED AND HAVE A MARK ON HIS LICENSE FOREVER OVER SOMETHING LIKE THIS THAT DID NOT COMPROMISE SAFETY IN ANY WAY IS CRAZY!
