Geez! The CAA requires for a simple
change of address
o A 7-page form with all gory details about personal data, licenses (CAA and foreign), and ratings
o GBP 46 processing fee + shipping (work creates work, I guess)
o Certified copy of license (can only be certified by head of training of an ATO or head of flight standards of an air operator)
o Certified copy of ID (can only be certified by head of training of an ATO or head of flight standards of an air operator, no government office etc.)
Talk about gold-plating aviation! But seriously, I'm wondering what they were thinking. Must also create quite some effort on their side to process all that crap.
Other competent authorities in EASA-land just want an email to the licensing department. The FAA offers a simple online form to change address. New certificate will be mailed within days free of charge.
Doesn't change anything, but feels better to whine once in a while.
