My valentine got through!
Filled in the form yesterday (using link sent out by Skywise). It wouldn't allow submission, so I saved the file as instructed, then reopened in Adobe - then had to fill it all in again! But then it would submit, and immediately got the reply back asking for ID and invoice scans, which were sent immediately. Hopefully, I'm in the queue and they haven't lost my application or are changing what they need!
Not that I'm desperate for the £600 or anything

Version 2 of the claim form has been issued and is available as below:
http://publicapps.caa.co.uk/modalapplic ... il&id=7752
http://publicapps.caa.co.uk/modalapplic ... il&id=7752
And I managed to fill it in and got an acknowledgement. Let's see if the next step works, apparently an e mail requesting copies of the receipt and my identity. I don't have a receipt number because the Invoice was proforma.

The PA28 Warrior I currently fly has a KY196 Radio in the Com 1 position, and KX155 TSO Nav/Com in the Com 2 position. With regard to the EASA/CAA regulations, do I have to upgrade both radios to 8.33kHz or just the one as a legal minimum. The aircraft is used to fly in IMC conditions as I have an IMC IR(R) rating.
I can't seem to find the exact regulation on line. Can anyone help and please clarify?

Keep the 155
This is same situation as myself. You legally need one 8.33, so change the 196 to radio of your choice, and continue to use the KX155 as nav only after 1 January. You'll also need to placard the com side to say 121.5 only - as you can still use in emergency after that date. There may be some other 25 spaced frequencies that will be preserved, but realistically your new radio will be Com 1 and you'll never need the 155 voice unless your new kit fails.
I've changed my MX11 for Garmin 255a, and kept KX155 for loc/gs. Also swapped IC-A20 for a Yaesu 750L, so that I have handheld back-up (and the Yaesu has GPS too).
All the above is true if your IMC flying is like mine (using IR/R rating outside the airways). If you go IFR and into controlled airspace, you'd need full airways kit which includes 2 x 8.33, 2 x altimeter etc etc. Which is one reason I never took the IR rating.........
Suggest you do sooner than later so you can claim rebate in first tranche before they run out of advance EU payment.

Did you get your email from CAA today?
Having submitted claim on first possible day, and being told probable 3 weeks before they would be in touch, CAA have kept their word. Unsurprisingly they have been so inundated with claims they expect many weeks before they can sort through waiting list - but importantly, the fact I got the email reassures me that I am in the queue........
Did you get yours?

New CAA Email
Just received a nice mail to say that my rebate is in process (provided the invoices actually state "Paid" - which they do). CAA received over 2000 applications in first call period but state they have enough cash in kitty for this, so if compliant they will all get paid. Second call period now open.
So hopefully cash soon - but they quote "hopefully early Summer". I thought Summer had already started...........

The text from the CAA mail:
______________________________
This is a status update email to all applicants that have 8.33 kHz funding claims within the first tranche of funding.
The first tranche of funding includes all claims with an “E” reference number of E37641 or lower as they were received by the CAA before the tranche closed at 23:59 on 31st March 2017. Your claim is one of these.
We received over 2,000 applications in this first period and we are continuing to work our way through these to assess whether they should be recommended for payment. I am pleased to confirm that we have sufficient funding to cover all the successful claims in this first tranche, and we have now opened a second call period that will run through to 30th September 2017.
If you have not heard from us, then this is either because we have not yet completed review of your claim, or it has been assessed and is now recommended for payment.
Part of the EU funding contract is that we apply utmost due diligence and ensure the eligibility criteria have been properly met. As you can imagine, this is not a “5 minute job” to assess and review each claim form. Once all the first tranche claims have been assessed, we will make one payment to all recommended claims via BACS transfer. We are hoping to be able to do this early Summer.
There are 2 common issues that are causing delay in processing:
1. Applicants fail to provide receipt for purchases – we need to see that the goods have been paid for. Whilst an invoice is good in that it clearly details the items purchased and the cost, unless it says “paid” on it, then it is not deemed a receipt. We do need to see proof that cost has been incurred, this could be, for example; credit card receipt, card statement, bank statement, “paid with thanks”, etc.
2. If the total purchase cost of your claim(s) amount to £5,000 or more, you need to provide a copy of a bank statement that is no more than 3 months old. This must show name of bank, name of account, sort code and account number. You may choose to obscure financial transactions. Ideally include the bank statement as a supporting document to all of your claims, alternatively send it to one claim and note in the email that it covers multiple claims, quoting their “E” reference numbers.
If either of the above apply to you, then please pre-empt us asking for it and send additional supporting documents to us as a reply to your “E” reference email (note: it is that “E” reference in the subject line that ties your claim together).
Please be patient and rest assured that you are in the system.

Dirty prop - is there an angle?
Having gone through the fitting process etc., and having rebate on way, I feel I'm as ahead of the game as I can be. The set is future proofed, in that when I upgrade other stuff (lottery permitting), then I'll get more out of the Garmin.
And can't help feeling, that even if I got rebate on this, then sold it, and bought something less, then by then EU funds for my second application will have run out (and that's if I could even get another box before the deadline). Think I'll stick with it, but thanks!

I'm not expecting payment until late Summer and we're in the first tranche.
I see in Pilot magazine that there's talk of the CAA applying for derogation. Wish I'd kept the old KX165 so I can put it back in again. I believe it's a better radio than the new Garmin 255. The new radio has too many features/buttons and the audio isn't as good, in my opinion.
