Hi all, just wanted to get this off my chest, as I am so damn frustrated!!!
Passed PPL skills test nearly a month ago, and took all the paperwork down to the CAA personally (The next day). Still no sign of the licence.
In the meantime, I am still a 'student pilot', I cant take a passenger, I cant go abroad, I need a seven day 'checkout' at the flying school, I need to be signed out by an instuctor
I know that everyone goes through this, but my questions are;
A) How did you kill the time awaiting your licence?
B) Is there anything at all I can do to get it 'hurried up'?
C) What is the longest you have had to wait?
D) Why don't the CAA issue a 'permit to fly' as the FAA do in the States?
Thanks guys,
PS I think its a great idea that we have a new PPL's bash, sooner rather than later.
