CAA FCL - How on earth do you deal with them ?

[Kemble Pitts]

Sadly CAA-FCL seems to be a broken machine, not fit for purpose.

I had 'issues' with them when I added FI to my existing CRI/aerobatic instructor privileges. They refused to apply the aerobatic instructor bit to my new FI certificate.

I wrote to the Chief Executive of the CAA to ask for his help. One of his staff contacted me immediately and then a new licence appeared on my door mat a week later to replace the one week old 'new/incorrect' one.

Seems they could do it after all!!!
