A GOLD STAR FOR THE CAA!
We just had a student submit his initial PPL application. It was turned around in one day and he didn't even visit the desk!
Credit and thanks where it's due - well done to the CAA Licensing Department at Gatwick.

It's just possible that they saw a log book with no less than 24 other pieces of papyrus, looked for a HOT signature - found one - and assumed all was correct................
I'm joking of course.............

What's the opposite of a gold star?
This actually make me quite cross - I've had my CPL application in for six weeks and they haven't even looked at it! I called them to confirm that I hadn't done anything silly and they told me everything was fine and they aim to process within 30(!) working days.
I would have hoped that professional licences would have at least a little higher priority as people's livelihood could depend on having a licence. Sure, the checking is a little more complex, but most people have comprehensive training records these days so I don't understand this HUGE disparity!
