CAA turnaround time for FI(restricted) ratings

Hi folk's,

Has anyone submitted an application lately for their FI rating. Just wondering how long Gatwick is taking to process and issue the paperwork??

Usually a letter from a flying school saying you have a job and need the rating ASAP makes for a very speedy turnaround!

Good luck

About 40 (working days) including CPL. Numerous phone calls, crap service, lost e-mails (they said), holidays, sick leave.

Incompentence Rules.

If they were a Private Company I would never use them ever again.

Ah, the pain and suffering of going into the big glass building and turning right.

If you have everything in order (and I mean perrrrfect order). It should only take a few hours.

My CPL/IR took quite a bit longer. That was done by post and took about a month if I remember right.

I went today (1st October) to get my restricted Instructor Rating added to my CPL. For the time being they have lifted the requirement for a letter from an employer for the same day service. They do specify that you must arrive before midday if you want it though. I arrived at 11.00 and was finished by 12.45

It's always worth a call before you go to check the latest though.
