How long would it take for CAA to approve OCVA for class 1.
Hi im 17yo male in the UK. I have failed the CAD test, so no class 1 for me for now. The plan is for me to move to america to do their OCVT+MFT to obtain an unrestricted FAA class 1 so i can fly commercially over there. Obviously it would be great if the OCVA got approved in the UK but im thinking it will take a number of years (like 10 years maybe). Have there been any developments in getting the CAA to approve it?
Also, i had a friend briefly tell me if i get an LoE from The FAA to get a class 1, i could get the CAA to approve that LoE and allow me to get a class 1 in the UK. Is there any truth to that?
Many thanks, Ollie Seaward.

Hey so its definitely possible to get different scores on the CAD , I did it 3 times and got 4 units lower in my 3rd attempt. I believe that the UK CAA average out all scores, so if I did 3 runs, I would then need for the average score to be under the 6SU for Detuan and 12SU for Protans limit. However this could be different in EASA and other countries, and this is only for CAD tests taken in an official aeromedical center.
