CAA time to issue licence?
Hi
A few weeks ago I submitted my CPL application to the CAA along with the relevant paperwork including my logbooks, and large amounts of money.
I expected it to take a while as I understand the City sports day shenanigans, plus EASA are causing a certain amount of delay.
That said, does anyone have any idea roughly how long it's taking these days?

From the CAA website :
Which means your looking at 6 weeks minimum.

They also told me that it was 30 days minimum when getting a medical transfer. Didn't take anywhere near that long, think they just put it to cover themselves.

Thanks for responding all. I've got a "we called, you were out" card from FedEx, so I'm guessing it's arrived. That's three calendar weeks. Will confirm when I've collected it tomorrow.
BigGrecian - that note refers to Engineers licences. There isn't a similar note for the Pilot / Aircrew part. It would be useful if there was some kind of indication.
lajeharo - looks like it was a reasonable indication. Congrats on getting your PPL, by the way. Enjoy your membership of a privileged club, in whatever way you can!

Thank you, and congrats to you as well!
I'm just biding my time until November at this point, when I'll be leaving for the US to do the rest of my training. My flying in the UK will have to be restricted to a couple of sessions in the circuit so I don't lose my landing skills... wished I had the money to do more flying here before I go, as flying over this country is just beautiful.
