As mentioned previously - what is the likely outcome of an individual who did not have the required experience for license issue, who had passed the skills test and subsequently gained sufficient experience for license issue?
if they feel that the requirements for undertaking the Skill Test were not met at the time of taking the test then you can rest assured the application will come winging back to you with an instruction that you have to retake the test
.... At considerable expense. Not an option for some.
Obviously there will be some individuals who find themselves unknowingly impacted by this clarification of the regulations and we will endeavour to provide this clarification whilst not disadvantaging any pilot currently undergoing their CPL modular training.
Does this mean the CAA may be sympathetic and allow a transitional period while the message is fully received and understood by ATOs / examiners and candidates etc?
We will see how this pans out but I hope it is met with some amount of common sense.
