    East Kaweka Helicopters - CAA Licence expired.

    Just found out EKH's CAA licence has expired and Chris is going to be grounded for the majority of the roar.

    Anyone else have a booking with him within the next month?

    Does that mean that everyone booked to fly into a block with Chris will have to walk? Or will another operator be rubbing his hands together??

    Expired? I didn't think an Air Operating Certificate had an end date on it? Bit embarrassing if that's the case.
    Shut up, get out & start pushing!

    I don't know what the go is exactly. But by almost no fault of his own he's grounded.

    It is absolutely no fault of Chris'. He started the audit/renewal process months ago, but he's struck a couple of absolute officious pricks in CAA along with a some new rules they're now decided they're going to operate under. Its all about the wording in his operating manuals - and Chris' are written by a guy who's been contracting to write CAA operating manuals for 10 years, and always had them passed before. Suddenly now these CAA auditors are being picky about some of the exact wording, and Chris and his contractor have been going backwards and forwards with CAA for months now, and still can't get them to sign it off. And in the meantime his operating license has expired.
    Let's just say if Chris who is one of the most fastidious, law abiding and totally trust worthy operators I've ever come across can't get through his audit, lookout the operators still to be audited by these guys!

    What I can't work out is why they havnt got another operator in there taking the bookings for Chris. Must be a way around it. Temporary concession etc.
