I hope David is right! As a tug pilot and a full cat. on gliders I
estimated the cost to me, based on the CAA announcement, to be:
£ 65 - To convert my UK PPL to an EASA PPL
£ 89 - to add a sailplane rating to my EASA PPL
£ 89 - to add a towing rating.
£ 89 - to add the sailplane cloud flying rating (assuming it happens).
£121 - to add a glider instructor rating.
£338 - if I want to be able to examine glider pilots.
Total = £791 to the CAA to continue to do what I do now!
It's a good job I don't want to do advanced aerobatics and spend another
£89 - taking it up to £880!
A good revenue stream to the CAA - and no mention of IMCR rating. (CAA announced these prices yesterday to come into effect on 1st July for EASA licences.)
