Im attempting to get my details released to the FAA, by the CAA.
Back in December I requested they did this, (I hand delivered my application).
I paid the CAA £44 quid and filled out SRG1160 to send what I can only think is an email. I then applied to the FAA on their form via email, for issue of license on back of CAA one. I recieved an immediate response from the FAA.
So chasing this up - the FAA claim that they have never received the verification.
So I call the CAA up and they tell me it was sent in December. I contact the FAA who go through their records, no records of this found.
I call the CAA up again and I am told - send pldverifications@caa.co.uk an email.
Ive sent them two emails, asking them to resend, not even a response at all from them for over a week now.
The CAA seem to be worse useless, can't speak to anyone that does this job, fobbed off with "send an email" to someone after hanging on the phone "your 8th in the queue" to some hideous piano music for ages.
The FAA by comparison actually communicate by email, are responsive and actually seem eager to help. But I can not kick the CAA into any action.
Here I am in the US, right now, and guess what I am stuffed yet again. I have been to the US twice since originally applying.
Anyone else had experiences like mine, with FAA license verifications via the UK CAA?
