Thanks BillieBob,
The price of the CPL Skills Test has now gone up to £800!!! Ludicrous! However, it does state that if the test is carried out by a CAA Authorised Flight Examiner (AFE) not an employee of the CAA, then the test will be £534. I would assume that most, if not all examiners who work for CAA approved flight schools abroad are not direct employees of the CAA itself? Or can this be?
Thanks again BillieBob
