As it's now after lunch on Friday, I'm not having any luck getting hold of the CAA. So, on the likely basis that someone here has already been through this, I figured I'd get a quicker answer online.
If you have a PPL with (say) 2 type ratings on it, and you get a CPL, do you have to pay extra to have all your type ratings transferred across? So, for example, if one had a PPL with ratings on R22 and R44, and one got a CPL (passing the test in a R22), would one have to pay the 'adding a type rating to a professional license' fee to get the R44 rating added to the CPL? Or do the CAA take the view that as you've already paid to have the rating added to a license, and they've already done the difficult data entry to get this info into their systems, they can issue your CPL with all the types on it to start with?
I would hope that as you're paying £231 for them to enter some details in a computer and press print (having also paid £762 for the actual skills test), the CAA aren't going to hit you for a further £116 to carry a TR over (which you've already paid £84 to add to your PPL). But I'm not holding my breath.
I can't find anything definitive in LASORs, anyone got experience of this?
