Its over 3 years now since I went through the process but I would imagine you can still get away with applying for licence/ratings etc together and thus only pay one fee. If memory serves me correctly then an application for licence fee includes either one or two ratings thrown in as part of the fee. That may have changed of course but perhaps someone who has went through the process recently may be able to better advise. The IR test fee still stands though. You also need to add your multi engine aircraft hire on top of that for the test day. All in all, test fee + 2 hours hire cost me the best part of £1500 for my test. By the looks of the scheme of charges the CPL test is also £762. I believe the wording is - "skill test for professional licence and instrument rating skill test". How they can justify that fee beggars belief but I suppose thats another topic in itself.....including £509 for sitting a partial pass....what the f**k!!??
