Toilets would come under overheads, which have to be covered as fixed costs from the hourly rate.

Exams aren't overheads. The instructor who is supervising and marking the exam can't be earning an income flying, so that opportunity cost has to be covered by paying for them to be on the ground for a specific activity like an exam.

Unless you think instructors should volunteer to do at their house after hours for free?
