Don't forget to allow time for the application to reach the LAA, for the LAA to process it and send it to the CAA, to arrive no later than 22nd March. Which is 10 working days before Sunday 8th April, due to the Easter holiday.
On behalf of AOPA, I have asked the CAA to afford the maximum possible priority to NPPL applications and the Authority has agree to see what it can do to help. We have also recommended to our members that all applications should have been sent to the LAA no later than Friday 16th March.
LAA are turning round NPPL(SSEA) applications very quickly, but there are the vagaries of the UK postal system to remember.
