Awaiting PPL license from Gatwick
 

Iv recently passed my PPL and just wonderd how long people have waited in the past for the licence to arrive??

I noticed my recorded delivery took a week to reach London from Liverpool wich doesnt help and i cant bare the wait, the only plus point is that during this time the weather has been rubish anyway so it was good timing i suppose :-)

Mine was 6 weeks if i remember correctly. I was so eager that I asked them to call me the day it was ready and I drove down from London just to pick it up!

:ok:

Excellent!

Mine took two weeks to be issued. In typical CAA fasion the recipt for the payment came through in a matter of days.

I've been waiting two weeks now for my night rating, I think that by the time it arrives night flying will be over at my airfield!

Mine was returned quite quickly (2-3 weeks?) - this was back in October.

I was quite surprised as the Royal Mail Special Delivery tracking number was still coming up with the "It's on its way. - Your item is progressing through our network for delivery."

According to Royal Fail, my logbook and forms are apparently still on their way to Gatwick. :ugh:

The bottom of this page shows where they are up to, but it isn't always updated regularly :{

I passed Feb last year and it took 3 weeks exactly from test to license arriving.

I love the pics ^^^^^^^^^

Patience got the better of me, i got signed out on sunday for a solo flight for 45mins, i couldnt take a passenger but i still enjoyed it.

Might go again if the weather picks up :-)

I've been waiting 8 weeks for transfer of JAA state license. Granted, this takes a little bit longer, still, I called them today to check. They just received word and now the process starts.

-How long will it take?
-Don't know.
-Could it be up to 8 weeks from now?
-It could be.

So if all goes as it will in Murphy's world, we're looking at 16 weeks waiting. :ugh::eek:

I was told recently that it can take up to a year to transfer a licence from some JAA states.....

If you have a day spare they do a counter service.

The counter service is only for ratings, you can drop in a licence application for a 10 day turnaround but thats the minimum, at least thats what the guy on the counter told me.
