Let's not be too dramatic. :) It's likely the 8710 (and the temp. certificate) were filled out properly, and OKC just got it wrong. They're good folks, but they do make mistakes. Happens more often than you'd think. I got a AMES rating added to my ATP when it in fact was a commercial ride. A student took and passed the private rotorcraft helicopter ride (initial); the permanent ticket read ASEL.

Nevertheless and regardless, do as I did - give OKC a call and tell them of the error. They'll send a corrected certificate. IIRC 405-954-3261 .

Not being dramatic, just being smart. Ok, OKC got it wrong, but you've got to sign the certificate for it to be legal, once again signing it states it's correct. That's all I'm saying. In the end, it's always the pilot's responsibility.

When flying for a 121 carrier does the applicant use IACRA or another method to apply for a certificate? Just curious.

Uses whatever the carrier is set up for. The last rating I got three years ago at an airline job was still a paper 8710. The 142 side job had me put them on my IACRA account almost 4 years ago, I'm still signing 8710s by hand.
