Quote: “...2 weeks later...a new license with everything included.”
Unlikely! I did everything at a TC office in early January. It was three and a half months before my booklet turned up in the mail. Others have been waiting for well over half a year.
Everything is not included! There is no provision for radio licence, PPC card, Dangerous Goods certificate, etc, all of which used to fit in a leather pilot licence holder along with the paper licence and medical certificate. The new Booklet will not fit in the leather licence holder.
Whoever implemented the TC booklet had no consideration whatsoever for the users. The FAA took a different and more intelligent route. They now have a credit card size plastic licence compete with photo. This will fit in the existing leather licence holders. It’s too bad TC did not ask the Americans to help them but instead intransigently ignored all the protests and went out of their way to impose a user-unfriendly licence booklet.
