After flying around without an RT license for a couple of years (And staying off the airwaves m'lud) I find myself needing an RT license for when I want to do foreign trips.

Can anyone reccomend an examiner to me that can test at short notice? (Preferably this week).
I'm based in the Farnborough/Camberley/Basingstoke/Reading general area.

Do plenty of revision before you take it and it is a 2 part exam, theory and practical? I have just passed theory and about to do practical which is a 3 hour exam.

I did mine with a wonderful old chap called George (sorry, forgotten his surname) down at Biggin about 3 or 4 years ago, and at very short notice indeed - perhaps worth a call to the flight schools there for his details? I am also based in your neck of the woods, and from memory the practical was no longer than half an hour. Good luck!

Mine was about 20 minutes as well excluding the route prep beforehand.

There was a chap in Bourne (Cambs) called Ash Holding who ran a ground school and specialised in RT. His website seems down at the moment.
