Paying for Initial Class 1
Hi all
Quick Q - Do you pay for the initial CAA Class 1 Medical over the phone at the time of booking, or when you actually get to gatwick? Interested as if I can put off the payment it would help cash flow at the moment..but I'd like to get it booked nonetheless. Cheers! RC |
I thought I paid for it when I booked over the phone (from Australia). Apparently, the currency conversion took a hit and my cc bounced. I paid on the day with no trouble. I would speak to the medical branch about it, they are quite reasonable.

Hello,
New policy is to only accepy payment over the phone at the time of booking. That's what I was told a few weeks ago anyway. Mav :ok: |
When I booked mine I was unaware that i would have to pay in advance, so I said I would call them back a few days later with a CC, I explained that it was good old mum who was paying and she was on a business trip at the time.
They were fnie about that, but said that it would have to paid for in advance. They kept the booking for me, I paid about a week before the examination and everyone was happy. They are really nice down there, and happy to help. Good luck |
Four hundred and twenty two punds though!! It's more than £200 more than the same thing in Spain! I can't see how the CAA can justify charging so much!

I'm considering just getting a Class 2 for now, until I actually need a Class 1.... I would save over £300 ... thats 3 hours of flying.

That's a first! Any other CAAs take the money for the initial on the day:
Czech: 120 pounds, German: 120 pounds (though this was a year ago, and he threw an FAA class one in), Irish: somewhere around 350 pounds, Spanish: 225 pounds. With the exception of Spain, you do not have to wait longer than a week. - I stand to be corrected on any of this. IP |
