I passed the CAD!
Hi guys,
Well, I've been living on grandfather rights on my class 2 and with a restricted class 1 for ten years. Anyway, took the CAD today and was convinced I'd stuffed it up but, with 4.33, I passed!
The bloke in the Aeromed centre (called mark) at the CAA was really super and set me at my ease, which is more than could be said for back in 1999 when I flunked the Holmes-Wright.
The test has changed a little from the prototype at City Uni (no chin rest and letterbox to look through) and you have to sit 1.4m (+/- .4m) from the monitor (hooked up to a lappy) on a comfy chair.
I'm going to write to the CAA and City to thank them for the time and money they've invested in this project as I can now, finally, realise my dream!
If you're like me and 'slight' (in my case 9/15 ishiharas incorrect!) in your CVD, then do splash the £120 and see if you can get through.
All the very best
CW
