Yea but luckily its not up to you
Ok, the form wasn't sent....my fault. But my arguement is that they HAD my license and HAD my logbook and HAD the signed certificate of revalidation, so WHY couldn't they just update their records, without me driving 40 miles, finding the examiner if I can, filling out a form and posting it off....get my point.
Sorry its not quite by the book, and apologies if it offends the guardian of all things JAR-FCL. I know you struggle to apply any sort of lateral thinking in your procedural like world
Still, got a "free" IMC rating due to my unholy FAA IR.
Happy Holidays
