ASIC for CPL
Is a current ASIC required to be awarded a CPL?
I see on checklist for CPL on the CASA website:
"Applicant holds a current ASIC/AVID card or has had a recent Background Security
Check. If ASIC is not a CASA initial issue ASIC card, please supply a certified copy of current ASIC." http://www.casa.gov.au/manuals/regulate/fcl/form741.pdf
I have held an ASIC in the past but it expired in January and I did not renew as I have been flying fairly sporadically and didn't want to spend $180 when I may not use it.
On that same form is also says: "Applicant has a current English Language Proficiency Assessment, or application attached"
Can CASA really be that bureaucratic as to require me to take an English test when I obviously can speak it fluently??
Two years into the ASIC fiasco and it's still rubbish.
