A friend here waited 4months for his class 2 to be sorted out as DAME made minor very obvious error on line. In desperation he sent a letter to John McCormick and signed the letter Dr NKS former Senator, Parliament of Australia. It then took 4 days for Avmed section to reply and issue his class2 finally. Avmed claim they are overworked!! thus they ignore letters, emails, faxes and phone calls hoping you will give up. Another friend just gave up on Avmed and no longer fly his Lancair.
