From CAsA today:
Currently CASA is receiving more applications for licence conversions than can be managed immediately. Applications are being prioritised so those pilots who have a need to convert their licence to Part 61 are not disadvantaged.
CASA is doing everything possible to keep up with the demand for new licences.
Who'd have thought that might be an issue
- the whole Part 61 has been a planning shambles right from the start, and now this.
