Looking at the Irish CAA fees schedule, and considering the following:
* Transfer of my UK CPL to IAA costs €450 according to the IAA fees schedule.
* I have recently renewed my SEP and IR. I have sent the paperwork to the UK CAA but a new UK licence may or may not be issued before the IAA get around to processing my paperwork. If it does go through in time, I'll have to pay €300.- or €600.- when I renew my MEP.
* If it doesn't go through in time, somehow I'll have to apply for renewal of my ratings separately, at €300.- each.
In summary, am I really looking at a bill of €750 to €1350 from the IAA for the "privilege" of transferring my licence?
