Hey Guys just wondering i received my flight crew license in the mail and it has arrived on a piece of paper stating that i had to sign it, Now is that actually my license or will i receive another one like a drivers license..
Kind Regards
That is your $50 paper licence my friend..
I know there's a lot of money in aviation because I put it there.
Thanks for your reply mate do you know if i still receive a proper one eg to put in you wallet or is that it
Cheers captainellzy
No problems. You won't get a different licence mate, that IS your licence and you can put it in a licence wallet to protect it. Available from pilot shops.
When you get a new licence (PPL, CPL) you will be sent a new one to reflect your new privileges (GFPT is a sticky label so you don't need the paper licence to use it).
Sorry to disappoint, it's not very glamorous but it is what it is!

Thanks mate, yeah not very glamorous at all but like you said it is what it is!!! I brought that licence wallet today from the essendon pilot shop, bloody cost me $40.00 bucks, rip off 🙂 well thanks for the reply mate, btw I see your up to ATPL, that's awesome, how many hours you to mate..
Ahh the ATPL thingo is just a measure of how many posts I've made. It's not far from the truth.. except I don't have 100 night hours (close though!) and I don't hold or ever held a MECIR along with a lot of the other requirements!
I have about 700 TT.

700 hours thats awesome, guessing your like the rest of us aiming to get into the jets one day, well we hope anyway..
Thanks for the reply dude, where bouts do you do all of your flying mate
Actually I'm not really looking for a jet job, I instruct at a flying school in Perth and really enjoy it and want to keep enjoying it as long as they'll let me do it!

Good on ya mate sounds good
Hi Folks,
Just wondering when does a license actually becomes effective e.g. PPL? Is it when CASA processes it and sends you the license? Or when you have completed all the license requirements and send the forms off?
I couldn't find in the regs where it states this.
Thanks,
Brendan.

Hi,
You will have to wait for your PPL to come in the post before you can use it. You can still fly but will be operating under your GFPT privileges. Not sure if it would be in the regs, however with a PPL there is no real way other than a copy of the completed flight test form to prove you have passed the test, until your licence comes of course.With GFPT's, a sticky label is placed in your logbook by the ATO immediately after the test so you can use it straight away.
Hope this helps!
