All that and more LB !!
Currently getting the run around for a simple PPL.
Could it be because you're NOT in MHR they want all this extra. Have to hunt up 2 years of doctoring ( 2 x DL medicals , eyes done/re cataracts 3 yrs ago) And a stress test which has never applied to a PPL in my past
And a MoCA test !! WTF is that.? Nobody locally knows but Dr Google tells all. Its an assessment to see if you're losing yr marbles.

So someone has just decided , in spite of having Drivers Licence tests ...which allow me to fly , not the VH one the same, but only the numbered one...They posit I'm going senile. Nor do they say the why, or give any reason...its just an edict.
I take that as an insult at my current state of robust good health.!!
Or perhaps this extra/ delay is because AvMed recently had to remove (not delete from their records, I bet) an old ASIC ID photo.
Revenge theatre comes easy to CAsA. Because they can.
