I'm also frustrated. After being on the phone for 45 mins going over
each question in the entire form with a lady from CASA and being told it
was 100% correct, I received a letter _4 months later_ telling me I had
put the wrong details in a question!
Sigh
Between that, the long delay on getting my class1 medical back and the
months I've been waiting for an ASICs card!
I'm personally glad we have the GFA to represent us most of the time!

Wombat excepted of course, but I am extraordinarily frustrated with CASA
over this.
I actually put my application in prior to Nov 2004 (!) only to be
informed toward the end of last year that they had lost it!
They were "nice" enough to forward me some blank forms (which I could
just as easily have got myself) but that doesn't resolve the running
around I must do _again_ to prove that I am a legal person.
But the thing which annoys me most is that even with the "3 month"
extension, a quick check of the register shows the following numbers
transferred:
2004 dec 160
2005 jan 122
feb 156
mar 264
apr 405
may 371
jun 434
jul 521
aug 694
sep 471
oct 135
nov 133
dec 807
2006 jan 191
total 4864
Out of 12500ish aircraft.
In other words, even if they double the current processing rate they
will still be battling to finish _this_ year.

Lots of other A/C too.

That's why there was a change to the rules 3 months ago - just before
the previous drop-dead date for CAR Part 3 registrations. Owners and
rego holders (registered operators in the new parlance) will in due
course receive a letter from CASA - this will then give them 3 months to
have the transfer to CASR Part 47 registration under way.
However, there is currently a cost-recovery system in place, which is
forecast to increase again in July 2007. CASA have employed a large
number of temporary staff to handle first of all the Part 47 process and
then the issuing of security-legislation compliant licences (which has
also been extended due to the impossible timeframe initially allowed.
I would not necessarily believe rumours that the cost recovery is a
deliberate Government tactic to prove to their ideological zealots that
it does not work, so that they can return to a more taxpayer-funded
charging regime.
