CPL/IR flight test costs in other European countries?

[Contacttower]

So in the UK both the IR and the CPL initials are £785 a time for the flight test with the licence application fee on top of that.

Can people tell me what the flight test fees cost in other European countries? France, Germany etc?

I know in the US typical examiner fee would be about $400-450 for initial IR.

The German fees are listed in the Appendix to Section 2 Paragraph 1 of the Order Regulating Fees of the Aeronautical Administration (Kostenverordnung der Luftfahrtverwaltung - LuftkostV), which can be found here (http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/luftkostv/anlage_13.html).

The list doesn't seem to be available in English, so I've briefly translated the relevant items for you below. Note that the fees for the skill tests do not include any allowance for the examiner. As far as ranges are given, it is likely the actual fee will be based on the authority's discretion. In 2010, I had to pay 160 EUR for the MEP class rating (i.e. for the skill test) and 60 EUR for entering the rating in the licence. III. Examinations and Checks of Aeronautical and Air Traffic Control Personnel for Licences and Ratings 3. Commercial Pilots CPL(A) a) Administration of Theory Exam: 300 EUR

13. Class and Type Ratings or Proficiency Checks: 50 to 350 EUR

OOI, here are the Irish ones... .

Obviously, these don't include hire of the aircraft for test.

They don't include the examiner's fee or travel expenses either - which actually make the IAA fee total higher than the UK CAA!

Poland guys, only Poland. I made my CPL and ME-IR skill tests there in January (with Bartolini Air) and I paid just for aircraft (BTW very reasonable price), there was zero exam fees! :ok: Especially there was a two separated flights.
But later I went home and paid to Latvian CAA 300 Eur - CPL license issue fee. It was a "golden piece of paper" :(
In Latvia exam fees (approx): SE-IR/ME-IR 150-200 Eur.

Does somebody know if you have to pay the fi fee at the exam if you have already paid the fe fee?
Is there a rule about it?
