How long did it take you to get it, once you submitted your documentation?

I turned the papers in on Dec 4th. I was very surprised to see it so quickly. I got a fat envelope from T.C, rarely a good thing.

Have my booklet too.

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see any mention anywhere of language proficiency in it like on my old license.
Jokes aside (referring to my bad spelling, grammar and syntax) is there any valid reason for it ?

They can't be bothered to spell out four words?

Or would that have meant a bigger license to carry around.

I've obviously missed the boat on this boondoggle.

Will my fancy paper blue one suffice in the years to come, or do I fork over a few dollars and a recent mug shot to get a booklet?

Having only received one threatening collection letter a few years ago, (still 2 years after renouncing citizenship mind you) I doubt I'm in the system.

Any links or insight would save me a call to TC.

Thanks.

Doc, I have a picture of you posing in a towel in the crew house in YPL, I am quit certain that you will not be EVER mistaken for Penelope Cruz, or any other Cruz for that matter.
I am sure that no-one wants to see that. In fact I am not sure if I have lost it in my travels.
Now, mistaken as the Pontif, well that is another story. :lol:

My guess is if they catch you flying without it they will fine you and it probably will be a large fine because it is easy money for them.

So might as well get the abortion they are foisting on us and don't give them the chance to get you in something so simple.

The information is on the TC website -- TC Licence Booklet Information.

Bottom line, the paper licences will expire at some point (the date differs for each licence type).

That page has a note that clearly hasn't yet been updated. As has been mentioned earlier, they are indeed issuing the booklets now.

Can you show me where the expiry date is on the blue license?

I asked them what would happen if I didn't have the new license and they said there would be fines and possibly charges for not flying with a valid license which is a load of BS. I was qualified to fly before this license. I'm still qualified after. The only thing that's changed is for me to have your new little blue book and I'll get fined??? For ATPL and CPL pilots, you are required to apply before the end of March with a small grace period afterwards IF you are are flying in this period. If you aren't flying, you could apply in 2 years and no worries. This whole affair is a waste of money in my mind. I agree with having photo identification but how they've gone about this sucks. I applied for mine in mid-October and have yet to receive it.

cutting out GLISH and ENCH times the number of applications really saves typing ! haha, and TC loves to not work right? I wonder how many permutations that would be.

There was a topic where 2% of the population were pilots. Let's take 30 million, 2% is 6 000 000 x 1! x 2!... they're saving 12 million letters by doing this. Haha !

There is no expiry date PRINTED on the blue licences. That being said, Transport will initiate some sort of regulation that makes the blue ones non-valid during the various phases of the implementation process.

Are Senior Commercial Licences still valid? Those also didn't have an expiry date printed on the piece of paper.
