I noticed that they hadn't listed my retract endorsement in their record keeping system, and the delegate strip ID number shown in my logbook for my tailwheel undercarriage design feature endorsement was listed in their records as a multi-engine endorsement on a PA-34, a light twin that I'd never flown before. Perhaps if I'd kept my mouth shut it would have saved me a lot of money on any future twin engine training :-) But I kinda like flying my tailwheel RV-6 and wanted them to agree that I wasn't breaching regulations by doing so, so I contacted CASA and sent them a scan of my logbook. In the first iteration they fixed up the tailwheel issue. About a year later, following further correspondence, they dealt with the retractable undercarriage problem. Interesting that there were some discrepancies in the paperwork that was sent to them by the school that trained me, which I only got to see by querying their records. I had a bit of a giggle over it. Given that they'd just finished going through GFA like molten lead through a duck over record keeping failures, it was amusing that they didn't have their own house in order, and even more amusing that it took a year to converge their records on my logbook's reality. Maybe they should audit themselves. - mark
