... at a cost of £53 to extend my Instructor privileges.
Traditionally, our examiner hasn't charged for signing revalidations, printing out the relevant form and sending it off. I guess that if this is a one-off charge then I could swallow it within what I charge for the revalidation flight.
However, examiners are under an increasing financial burden when they revalidate. Is it about time we all started charging for services like this?

Just in passing - the UK Microlight world has been more relaxed than this since Pontious was a pilot. Anybody within a microlight club who is a BMAA member can apply to the BMAA, take a short exam on the revalidation practices, and be approved as an "R examiner" with no privileges other than the ability to confirm licence validity.
At my microlight club, the R examiner hasn't even got a current licence and medical, but it's not a problem as he's careful and sufficiently knowledgeable.
