New Thread on Permit turnround times.

[Flying John]

I know we have a an old thread regarding Permit turnround times as I posted on it in 2021, but what are peoples experiences this year.

My documents and payments have all been received at HQ but 11 days since the final one was sent in (ARV) I have no permit. The "My Aircraft" page shows docs received and the date, but no-one has called or emailed to say there is a deficiency.

I don't want to call them yet as I am told there is a backlog and its a busy period so I don't want to add to that by phoning.

So how long are others waiting ?

Mine took about 10 working days, and only one very simple query involved.
Now into summer hols time, so likely a bit longer (maybe).
I think the days of 36 hr permit renewal turnaround times are a thing of the past..

14 days for mine ;-(

[John Price]

!0 days including a weekend.

Taking so much longer I think they probably call it progress!

Sent mine in last Thursday, August 31st. Zoe in the office called me yesterday lunchtime, Tuesday, September 5th with a query on a missed tick box on the check flight form. Permit issued shortly afterwards. Pretty good going in my book so very pleased all round.

It was due for renewal later this month so I think getting the (correct!) paperwork in in good time really helps the tech office and hopefully no loss of flying time.

And a big thank you to Zoe
