PPL application rejected
Having passed my skills test recently, I applied for my PPL with all the usual documentation, log book etc. After a rather long day at work today I returned home to a Fed-ex package from the CAA.
Excellent I thought, my license has arrived.
How utterly despondant I now feel to find that the package did not contain my license, it did however contain my log book, ID and a letter from the CAA stating that my application has been rejected on the basis that the FE's priviliges expired 6 or so weeks prior to me undertaking my skills test, and he was therefore not authorised to examine me.
I am now unsure where this leaves me, and I face stewing over it all weekend until I can make contact with the CAA and the FE on Monday morning.
Has anyone ever heard of this happening before, and does this mean I am going to have to go through skills test with all associated expenses all over again?
Any re-assuring comments would be greatly appreciated right now!
