Is it OK to have 2 certificates?

It will tell you about who owns the aircraft and nothing else.

And many times even that doesn't tell you much of anything.

Even the idea of camera on the yoke is a little silly.

Ok, you got me!

Every one id disscusing this as if it were a huge inconvenience to them, when in fact, it is a huge inconvenience to the FAA Inspector who is doing his job.

I have learned over the years to treat the certificate/medical/picture ID package just like checking the fuel and oil during pre-flight. Of course, that is part of my "pre-flight which starts at home.

No other way to do it, guys.

Honestly, if you get ramp checked, then it would be child's play for them to take your name/address from your DL and confirm that you have a valid certificate and/or (we're talking glider here) medical.

While that's true, it's still a violation, and they will chastise you for it even if they don't write you up. And, as I said, it's possible they'll get sticky about continuing onward without it. As nosehair said, it should be as much a part of your preflight as checking the oil level (at least for powered planes -- you glider folks can come up with your own analogy).
