and you decide to pick up on minor technical wording.
A totally inaccurate statement based upon an unsupported assumption, is hardly minor technical wording!
The original poster stated:
I have a valid class rating (SEP LAND), a valid PART-FCL medical (Class 2) and a valid EN language proficiency.
Level 4 was granted as a grandfather right to existing FRTOL holders (not JAA licence holders) who had not formally received an ELP assessment. As RTF Examiners have been awarding Level 6 to all new qualifying candidates since 2005 and Examiners revalidating licences have been signing candidates off as Level 6 where appropriate since 2006 then there really should not be anyone left without a valid ELP. I suspect the CAA are a littly tardy on checking their records! If you are one of the few with a genuine Level 4, then after 4 years it can be revalidated at an English Language Assessment Centre and remains valid so long as it has not passed the expiry date.
