Hey folks....
Just sent an e-mail to the people at Flt Crew Licensing ref. what I need to do to renew my expired CAA tickets. I've been flying abroad for the last decade on L-1011, 747-400, 727, md-80, 757,767 and 777. Class 1 med. etc. Current HKG and FAA ATPL's...
With all the wobbles in the US at the moment, just trying to cover all the bases and make all options available worldwide.
So, I went to the SRG website (which is hopeless), read everything, and followed the FAQ's etc and fired off an e-mail requesting, I suppose, an assessment (just like in the old days when you sent off a sheet of paper to the CAA and they sent back a list of requirements).
What I got back was a short reply with a link back to the website, sample JAR questions area!!! Thank you very much...I know full well what a shuttle valve does, or that a spoiler is on the upper surface of the wing....
Folks, any of you out there that could provide me with plain English instructions on what to do next? Any CAA employees, in particular, feel free to e-mail me.
I know the FAA is lacking in many areas, but the local FSDO system is infinitely more user freindly than the CAA website, or whoever replied so hopelessly to my original request. It was as though my e-mail arrived at the desk of someone who never flies...tell me that couldn't be so...could it?!!! :rolleyes:
