Dumbing down the Licence
So, the CAA (UK) has finally given in (almost).Fully Licensed A/V guys are now being GIVEN A+C licences on the strength of the A+P that they hold. Those without A+P are simply doing 100 multi guess per Category. If they pass, they get the licence(s). No oral reqd.
If I (as an A+C holder) apply for my X licence, will they just give it to me? I think not, even though I hold ICAO type 2 from more than one country,including one that includes a large amount of electrical content and compass swing!
I asked my QA manger's advice on whether to do X or JAR66 conversion. His answer? "Hold tight, JAA will cave in and give away 66 licences"
