I'm now on working day 37 since my PPL application was received and nothing, other than 'it's still waiting to be seen' when I called up last week!

The lady on the phone yesterday said that the latest dates they were looking at was the 2nd of Jan. What I cant understand is that on a ATPL facebook page, someone stated that they sent an initial PPL app at the beginning of Feb and recieved the license this week (15 day wait). Highly frustrating.

My paperwork was with the CAA on the 10th Jan, and still nothing here... When I called at the end of Jan, I was told I should receive in the start of Feb

Just recieved a text saying my FedEx delivery (which I presume is my license) is arriving in the next couple days. My wait has been 28 working days for anyone wondering.

Clogged with Brexit ATPL SOLI transfers I expect.

I have an expired JAR PPL to put through conversion. Boo.

(To what license it will be converted to is up in the air. As it stands, can’t be EASA in five weeks. No stated policy yet on what will happen for license issuing after that - I guess it will be the full revival of the UK PPL .)

Just received my new EASA PPL licence. It was a conversion from an old CAA lifetime PPL. Submitted 13JAN2019, received today. Great stuff, shame the paper licence doesn't fit the nice plastic folder and you can't cut it up. Probably something to do with Brexit.
Anyway, a question, am I right in thinking the old Night Rating no longer exists, as it doesn't appear anywhere on the piece of paper?

[Dave W]

A Night Rating does exist for the EASA PPL.

Did you put the one you hold in the "Ratings Held" section of the EASA PPL application form that you completed?

[doorstomanual]

Thanks DaveW. Yes, I did, it was on the list of ratings. I think I will email them and ask.

Sent mine ( PPL application) in on the 24th of Feb, called them yesterday and they are currently looking at applications dated the 26th January.

[cadoganpier]

Still waiting.....

[cadoganpier]

Just been told it will be with me tomorrow, so that's 29 working days.

[Gentoo]

Not me but someone I know.

Initial application had an issue so missing details supplied and application put back in the queue 4th March.

Licence delivered yesterday (4th April).

Only posting as this thread is pretty much becoming the official 'how long are things taking' thread. So thought some may be interested.

Just caught this thread as I’m waiting for mine submitted couple weeks ago. Guess I won’t get too excited since their website says there’s a ‘Brexit backlog’ or some such thing.

Was surprised to hear you go back to the end of the line for something as simple as a piece of missing info.

Thank goodness they’re not responsible for anything important otherwise you’d imagine the inefficiencies could be widespread and which could lead to delays in all sorts of areas......

I think we got a lapl issue in under 10 working days last month.

Applied for LAPL online & took about 8 working days
