Quoting Mr. A. Wells, CAA Engineering Licensing Department, letter dated 09. November 1999: " The submitted certificates were not correctly certified by your referee, in that some of the certificates need proof from the respective training schools that the training was carried out to ATA 104 Level III specification standard and the certificates need endorsing to that effect. The required evidence may be in the form of a detailed letter from your quality department giving the rquired information."
All my certificates have been reissued by the respective training departments, upon my request, with the required information.
It is a very time consuming matter, all in all, it took approximately 15 months for the last reissued certificate to return. In 1999 I paid £192 for the JAR66 CAA AML conversion and every time I received a reissued certificate I applied for the type rating endorsment ( Stupid me ). The CAA hit me for every application with £75 each. To date, I have 13 type ratings on my CAA AML ( 13 x £75 = £975 ) Total cost so far, including the conversion fee £1167 and I did not even get something to put the AML into.
