Hi AyrTC,
I thought as much..
That isn't so bad, I can only hope it is closer to the 8 day mark than a month as the course doesn't start that long after a month!
Yes I can imagine August is quiet, my final form is being sent to the CAA on the 31st so should be with them I guess the tail end of next week, when hopefully they are back.
I didn't realise that I could potentially speak to my AME about the status, I will do that in the next week or so.
Yes definitely helps, thanks for the advice!

Recent experience the response time has varied from eight days to a month!
I believe the CAA are very busy and August is a prime time for staff holidays.
You should be able to get in contact with your Class 1 AME and they should be able to access your own CAA progress timeline and this shows where you are in the system and which desk your file is on and where it is going next.
You do not want to be identified as a pain, so I devised the 10 day rule where I got in touch with the AME every 10 days just to "see how things were progressing!"
You cannot find out any results/descisions using this. The CAA will inform you by letter.
Hope this helps.
