AIC 18.33 - yeah right!
Yes, this AIC has been published by the SA CAA, yet it does NOT state the full requirements for a licence renewal! According to the legislation (Regulation 67.00.11) the AVMED folks would also like you to send along a lung function test, full eye exam incl. colour vision test as well as ECG/ stress ECG and audio gram tests!
According to an email I received from them 9 months ago (YES, NINE MONTHS!) they (CAA) are looking in to this little "discrepancy". Ha! ICAO responsibilities to licence holders do not apply us!
In the mean time, money taken and absolute refusal to acknowledge or respond to numerous emails and telephone calls from the UK!
So......is this my opportunity to name and shame the incompetent ones? No need, IT APPLIES TO EVERYONE IN LICENCING AND THE SO-CALLED "DOCTORS" IN AVMED!
Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. 👍
