Oh dear.
This CAA alert just landed in my email.
I think it confirms what I've been hearing elsewhere... FCL are up to their eyes in it. Although in this case the advice is regarding transfer applications, I'm assuming it's same admin team as conversions and other license issues... everything is backed up.
Hopefully there'll be a Brexit extension long enough for me to get my conversion through.
"The CAA has said it cannot guarantee that licence transfer applications submitted to the CAA after January 1 will have been processed successfully by us and will have been assessed so that the pilot can be issued with a medical certificate by the ‘new’ NAA by March 29, the scheduled date of the UK’s exit. All applications are being processed as quickly as possible by the UK CAA."
