re: CAA ATPL Fees?

Assuming that you are accepted for UK/FE PPL authorisation, the CAA fee is less than £300. Bearing in mind that the FE may, in a 3 year period, have to pay for up to 6 medicals, FI revalidation, a Dummy Skill Test with an Examiner's fee plus ac hire and has to conduct not less than 6 Skill Tests, it is reasonably simple to calculate the appropriate fee he/she will charge for a PPL Skill Test.
FIEs charge around £200 for a simple FI revalidation; for a PPL Skill Test I charge £160, for a SEP revalidation £80 and £0 for an IMC initial test. That's probably slightly below the industry norm - and, of course, Grumpy Gordon takes his cut.....
