WHBM, you are missing the point. There are flight safety issues here and by not issing the ATC licence the CAA SRG are doing the job they are supposed to do and by doing this they are protecting the public.
The CAA have been in communication for the past couple of years
with the NQY officials and yes there is a temporary approval system that was going to be in place. But they did not meet the required standard to give that.
The RAF have extended twice already and there is a knock effect to other units if they extend again.
Working within there own rules is why the flight safety record in this country is so good.
