New Licence Booklet Question

I was wondering if anyone has any idea about these "label insertions"

I originally received a licence with a PPL on it (this was printed, not a sticker) found on page 3, which is the first available space.

Now my question. Where does the CPL sticker go? I was told by some to put it on top of the printed PPL. Then others told me to put it right below on page 3 (the next available space, but this means that it will show both PPL and CPL)

The instructions on the thing says to put it on the next available space.

Then I phoned TC and they were not sure. After being on hold for a while, I was told to put it on Page 5 (but thay would leave 1 empty space on page 3 and a completely blank page 4)

Does anyone know where does this sticker go???

Thanks!

It should go in the next available spot in the appropriate section.

If an AP has authorized a rating or license then it should go over that 'position'

Right, that's what I thought, and that's why there is 1 available spot right underneath the printed licence and 2 on the next page (page 4) but TC told me to put it on Page 5 which is for the Authorized Person sign thing, which doesn't apply here.

So that's why I'm confused. I don't personally care where it goes, I just want to make sure that wherever I put it, the licence is valid!

I got a sticker for my ATPL booklet when I renewed my
MIFR. I just put it in the next blank spot, right underneath
the first one - you can see both of them.

I'm not sure I did it right, either. It is entirely probable that
I will receive yet another registered letter in respect of this.

If you actually read the book, on page 5 it says, right above where an authorized person would sign the licence for a new licence or rating "Place next licence/permit label here" written in light blue. Page 3 and 4 are (as far as I know) reserved for other printed licences (IE if someone has a Glider Licence, and a Helicopter Licence, and Balloon Licence as well). Which makes sense, since there are only 4 spaces for that, but there are 16 spaces for the authorized person to sign, and if you go from PPL to Night Rating, to ME-IFR, Seaplane with a group 1 renewal, then ATPL within a couple years, you'll use up most of those 16 spots.

After re-reading the TC link above and comparing it to the booklet, it seems that there's a discrepancy.

The link shows Page 3, the same as the actual book's page 5. However, the booklet is different that it does have 4 spaces for other licenses on Pages 3 & 4 (Glider, Helicopter, etc, ...) as mentionned by Radiohead.

I believe that's the confusion. Good old TC given out instruction to which things don't apply anymore. Nothing like changing things without properly informing the consumer or updating their site... :roll:

I'm still wondering how this new RVOP and LVOP will pan out ... I can't find this IAIP that they're mentionning in the CAP anywhere. But that's another thread.

Anywho, my bad, Page 5 it is!
