Considering the possible penalties for accidentally forgetting to bring along a physical copy of your certificate, this seems like a no-brainer to me. I use an EFB to meet FAA charting requirements, why not my certificates too? I’m not taking off without charts (EFB) aboard, and if I’ve got my iPad then I’ll always have my certificates. Google’s Wallet app provides a secure and acceptable (to a growing number of government agencies) means of storing digital ID. Use the app to take a photo of the document, and you’re good to go.
