CAA Licence
In early 1991, the then CAA issued new flight crew licence that looked liked a credit card.
I think Dick Smith was chairman at the time and was behind the new licence type. It seemed like a very good idea, replacing the paper licence that was sent to the CAA every time you did a renewal, medical or got an endorsement, but probably a little advanced for the technology of the time!
Anyone remember why it was withdrawn and replaced with the paper licence?
Would it work better these days with improved chip technology?
