Check your new ATF

Postby kloot piloot » Fri Jan 18, 2013 11:51 am

Received my new Authority to Fly by registered mail today. Was about to file it when I noticed the expiry date states 2013-01-04. The year should have been 2014.

At the beginning of every year anyone can make a mistake by still using the previous year as reference. RAASA immediately undertook to rectify and post a new one. Thanks RAASA (^^)

Absolutely and no ways I can blame them. Hence the importance to check your ATF on receipt.

Picture the rammifications if involved in an accident with RAASA systems reflecting/confirming your ATF has expired. Or receiving a ramp check at a fly-inn and note allowed to fly back untill papers are sorted. :cry:

Hahaha, :lol: just checked my "old discarded" Atf, being the one that was supposed to expire 30thDec 2012 and realised that it has dec2013 as the expiry date. So technically I had an Atf that was valid for two years! [btw, I have the valid new one in the A/c] :lol:
I think a little latitude is in order.
