CASA photo licences

[Sunfish]

Pharc, probably correct because they would already have a file on you. Mine took a little while, I suspect because I've been vetted four times before. However CASA were very helpful and they issued the student licence and ID in a day once they received the OK from Asio.

Geez mate. Don't hold your breath

Mate of mine got his last week. Four MONTHS after passing the test... so same boat as you.
They reckon my checks have come back and I'm officially not a terrorist, so we'll see what happens, eh?

For the record - photo licence arrived today. One problem!!! Someone at CASA stuffed up and they only sent me a STUDENT licence rather than the PPL.

They're starting to challenge Centrelink for the title of "Most useless Government body"...

CASA 'logic'

Phoned CASA the other day to see what, if any, progess I could expect.

It was explained to me that Canberra are pretty much ignoring conversions of old style to photo applications unless there was an upgrade of license involved. Fair enough I guess............but.............. they then went onto say that Canberra is processing applications in - wait for it - alphabetical order and they expect to be finished by Christmas. They thought they were up to "about the F's".

There's a commonsense way of processing applications if ever I saw one.

UTR.

PS Anyone had any luck with an ASIC card yet?

Pharcarnell,

I thought I was doing badly by not having my photo licence though I submitted it in March until I read your post!
