I had a PPL/Night/IMC/Multi and decided to follow the 12 reduction from the 55 hour approved IR. I was told by the CAA that I had to have the IR issued by Gatwick BEFORE I was allowed to carry on with the CPL course. So I had to pay £128 for the IR to be issued, then 2 days later £176 for the CPL.
I HATE THE CAA, ITS NOT AS IF FLYING IS CHEAP IN THIS COUNTRY!!
