Part 61 submission of record requirements The Licensing and Standards Unit would like to remind participants to scan and send copies of all competency demonstrations (aerobatic, agriculture, BFR, instructor, and instrument), type ratings, and DL9 medicals to pft.admin@caa.govt.nz as soon as possible after completion (and within 7 days for the DL9 for licence holders) to enable CAA participant records to reflect current privileges. This can also be very useful in the case of lost logbooks. Please send each individual participant record(s) in a separate email and include the date, client ID and type of record in the file name e.g. 2022 05 09 _10030_BFR PPLH (date format YYYY MM DD). An email acknowledgement has been set up in the pft.admin@caa.govt.nz inbox, so you'll receive an automated acknowledgement response once the email has been received. |
