Gasman, I sympathise with you. I got over half way through the old national CPL exams before I became unstuck with a fail. The CAA said no to a retake, go and do JAR CPL. The only people offering an approved course were 4 Forces and now they're gone. I've written letters to the CAA pleading with them to allow me to continue with the Nationals, but they just dont want to listen. I've written letters to my MP about the situation - all to no avail. Soon its going to happen to guys that want an IR. The CAA are withdrawing the Nationals for that in November and there are no approved course providers yet for JAR IR.
I'm going to keep on hammering the CAA to re-introduce the National CPL so I can use the credits that I already have.
Fancy starting a lobby group?
