Most of the packages I've seen don't include the flight test. They don't normally seem to include aircraft rental for the test either. Like I said in my previous post I paid the examiner directly, and rented the aircraft for the test from my school. After the test the examiner gave me the test sheet to send to the CAA, and then signed my log book. After that a flying school instructor helped me fill in the license application and then certified my logbook entries with a school stamp and signature.
It all went to the CAA and in typical CAA fashion they phoned to ask me to pay the £4 shipping to send my logbook/ license etc. back to me!
If the examiner only has to renew his authority for the OP's test to be valid then that doesn't sound too bad for the OP. Having to re-do an already passed flight test would be a nightmare.
