Flying Instructors & Examiners A place for instructors to communicate with one another because some of them get a bit tired of the attitude that instructing is the lowest form of aviation, as seems to prevail on some of the other forums!

Left Hand and Right Hand again...

Being asked to certify true copy of a document. All part of the job. Except the licence is a UK EASA licence issued by the people who want me to certify it! Talk about red tape.

Rant over.

Hi DD,

Not defending anyone but...

I'm often asked to certify documents that on the face of it have been issued by the CAA but I think the reasoning is that any updates/changes, such as dates of revalidation entered by examiners need ratification. I also think one of the problems might be that examiner returns don't get married up with licence/ratings information. There's a suspicion that all those revalidation forms we send in are just put in a great big box.
A 21st Century solution would be for examiners to be able to log in and update details on-line, like AMEs do?

I think the point is rather do the CAA use the information to update an individual's record, thus removing the need for manual entries on a licence to be certified when submitting a licence change etc?

Appreciate that the CAA might not be as on the ball as perhaps they should be but what am I actually certifying - that I have seen a true copy of a fake document? Surely as far as licences and ratings are concerned they can check their system corresponds to what the licence or medical says better than I can.

I have no no issue with passports or IDs...
