Well? How long after sending off your application for a PPL did it take for it to be sent to you?
I've been waiting about 2 weeks so I thought I should have it after another week, another 2 weeks tops but a few people have been saying about 2 months, 10 - 12 weeks and that is really quite frightening. So how long was it for you?
By the way, it angers me when people say you shouldn't whinge about it taking so long. Because you should. If no one whinges at them they're hardly going to speed it up are they? You pay so much money for it that they ought to be able to do it reasonably quickly and I don't see why they can't just do something like in the US where you get a provisional license while your waiting for the proper one. Or like in Australia where you just take all the bits and pieces somewhere and get it on the spot. There's no reason why it can't be like that here, especially because it used to be, my instructor said so.
