PPL Licence+taking passengers
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to take passengers up once your Skills Test has been passed but before your licence arrives through the post? I have heard that it could be possible under supervision?
thanks
thanks

Nope, you can't. You can fly solo, but must be signed off by an instructor. Sorry! You could always get an instructor to sit RHS and stick some friends in the back...

1 Week
2 Weeks
3 Weeks
4 Weeks
5 Weeks

Thank You.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And to think it still costs £160 or whatever, even if you're prepared to go down there. I feel like starting another anti CAA thread................

To answer your question regarding how long it takes to get the piece of paper in your hand I had mine inside 2 weeks from the end of September last year, so I don't think it should be too much off that mark seeing as it's almost the same time of year and demand blah blah. Hope you get yours soon.

Well I'm at nearly 5 weeks - passed in early July, still absolutely nothing back.
My colleagues in the US were stunned by our procedures:
"Send it off? I wouldn't let my logbook out of my sight..." and "when I passed, the FTO typed in the details to their computer; it registered it with the FAA; they printed out my licence and I signed it".
Can't vouch for the second statement, but I'm sure we could implement something between the two systems.
Hope we all get our licences soon. Good luck to anyone else who's waiting.
