I haven't read the whole thread but where do you stand legally if you have paid an examiner for a flight test but he was no longer able in the eyes of the authority to act as an examiner when he carried out that flight test? If you'd paid by credit card would it be easy to get a refund?
I seem to remember my PPL examiner demanding payment in cash, for fairly obvious reasons. Perhaps not so good for students though, and I don't remember ever checking his license/ ratings etc.
