CPL Application
Looking at the new Form SRG1183A, on applying for your licence, you need to send off:
Copy of Part-FCL Examiners Approval Certificate
Certified copy of passport (only by head of ATO)
Certified copy of Certificate of Revalidation (only by head of ATO)
Are these really needed? At the time of the flight test (last summer when I didn't have the requisite hours for issue) the Examiner did all the checks (and I paid the CAA a princely sum to send him) plus he gave me a carbon copy of his test report. Why can only the head of the ATO certify copies??
Section 8 has to be filled out and signed off by HoT at the ATO conducting the Theoretical Training so I also have to go to BGS!! For Lords sake - they have all this information already and I have the exam pass records! I'm sure all this paper and signature chasing wasn't required before?
Final question - my Class 1 Med has expired though I have no intention of using the CPL immediately - can it be issued with only a Class 2? Thanks.
