Not really, when I pass my test an paid however many thousand of pounds to do so, I want the actual licence. I am well aware what the FAA do, but it seems after all that hard work, all you get is a little temp cert, and an age to wait for the actual licence. I would rather pay and get the licence quicker. Plus its been over 120 days, and I don't have a licence....not the point anyway
