I did the CAD at the CAA in May this year - oh yes! They told me they would keep my results on file until it was certified and then tell me if I passed or failed. At that time they were expecting it to be about 6 months, which would take us to Novemeber. That seems a real possibility considering what has happened. As for service on the lanterns, I did a freedom of information request on the CAA. The Beyne had a new bulb a few years back, but guess what - the Holmes Wright has had no maintanace for about 20 years. Why not do an FOI yourself, it's free and your right!!
