The UK CAA recommends minimum test flight and ground times as follows:
For PPL/LAPL 04:15 HRS:
2 hours for Test Ground (including brief/planning/debrief)
2 1/4 hours for Flight (Aeroplane) (block time)

In addition to this there's always at least an hour of administrative duties pre and post skill test. Therefore, there's a minimum of 05:00 to a max of 06:00 hours of work.
On top of that, your experience, your training to become an FE/CRE, the responsibilities and the exposure of being one. How much do you value that hour of work?

With all my respect for a plumber and the profession, a plumber can and will charge you 45 to 65 GBP per hour and everybody is fine with it, no thinking of accusing them of forming a cartel but an examiner charging 275 to 375 is not ok?

How much do you value your experience and expertise?
