Hi
I do agree get your ATPL in europe is expensive!!!! as of companys asking for type ratings that is also very true ,at the moment the skill test on getting your PPL wore 350euro last summer not shore know,as for the theory exams is fist attempt 5 euros a subject 5*14 =70 euros and it is another 7 euros each if you fail so its still ok here (for know)i heard in the UK its about 100euros a subject
first medical class A is 150 euros and then every year 100euros
those prices i believe are ok the funny thing is with the cost of flying i have found a N reg aircraft to log the rest of my hours at less the half price of what i am paying at my academy it is also based closer to were i live and available every day it all comes up to what mad_jock says the aviation schools are the problem they change the law to suit them so they make more money hopefully i will find what i want in writing and get it done
