Re: Renewal Skills Test Senseless Regulations

Not anymore. CAA will no longer accept a 2 year payment. They want the 61.03.? every alternate year and will only renew for 12 months. I have tried with 3 PPL's in last 4 months. All got same answer.... Every 12 months they want their money and a copy of the logbook or a renewal test.... Stupid, maa...

Cell fone help

I know some folks on here are guru's in cell game. I need to upgrade. I have been Nokia man all my life from the first bricks to the E72.

Re: Renewal Skills Test Senseless Regulations

Initial is 12 months regardless of license then 24 month cycle. So you get flight test every 2 years and every alternate year you fill in a form and pay bucks.

As matter of interest. Does anyone have an aerial shot? We stopped there on Sat but I forgot to look for the airstrip... Pee and food was more of a priority with the rug rats in the car...

Re: Senseless Regulations - Part 2

OK? Was not sure about that. Assume if you find a destructor that will just sign then so be it, but my understanding is that you have to be tested or at least hand in a flight test report regardless of having actually been tested. I queried this with a grade 1 PPL instructor a while back. (ie the po...
