UK Jar-Cpl passed. what now?

[Helihansen]

Hi.

I just passed my JAR-CPL(H) LST. (ATPL theory passed as well ;D)
I had my FAA CPL(H), IR(H), CFI(H) previously

The application and payment forms are sent to UK CAA.

How long time should I expect before getting answers from them?
Will they send me the licence?
Can I start flying before I am getting the actual licence?


I am a little confused at this point, so I hope someone have answers

How long time should I expect before getting answers from them?

10 Working days (2 weeks) plus postage time.

Will they send me the licence?

Of course, unless you opted to collect it once it's done.

Can I start flying before I am getting the actual licence?

You can't exercise the use of a licence not in your possession. If you have a PPL you can still use that.

Thank you for clarification.

On the pass of an FAA checkride you are getting a temporary licence until the permanent arrives by mail.

Sad you can not start to work until at least 2 weeks after the LST. (JAA)

I am living/working in Norway and bet the postage will take forever..


Is the licence in "Credit card" format as the FAA licence?
Will the type ratings be on it?
