7 Months
Well, i guess this wouldn't make a difference to the topic but I have been waiting for 7 months for both the ASIC and AVID ( applied mid Spetember 2005). And by right I can't fly anymore till i get either or cards after March 31st 2006 which was the extended deadline from the original Dec 31st 2005 one.
When contacted, CASA just said as long as you have applied for ASIC then you can continue with your flying. Don't know where that is stated, but i guess ill have to take their word for it.
