Well, I must admit, I have been ironical in most of my posts during the last 5 years on this here forum, not easy to tell I was serious....

And we are all colleagues in this here business, so lets keep together on the outside and keep the bashin' in here...

Those schools can have whatever stars and stripes they want on their shirts...I know were I am, and what I do....

Did fly in one of those nomex meself....kinda liked it... (no fries on it though )

Getting back closer to the thread, here's my question:

I'm looking for accurate info on CAA fees for the scandinavian countries including theory exams, issuance of licenses/certificates/ratings, skill/practical test, radio license (if needed) and whatever else might come up.

Also average airplane rental prices on a 172 and average instructor fees might be helpful.

I hold FAA certificates and plan to start the conversion process this year, but the brits are out of their bloody minds, I calculated 2000 pounds just for CAA fees. I don't expect miracle prices compared to the US prices, but I'm hoping to find something close to reasonable.

Hi lilpilot, I've got a link to the danish fees, but unfortunately it is in danish only. I do not know what licences you're after, but asuming that it is CPL/ATPL, I can tell you that the Danish CAA will charge you £175 for each ATPL written exam! The cpl skill test will cost you about £480. As Denmark will we the country of license issue - you'll be charged £133 as a yearly fee.

To sum it up: when it come to fees - do not even think about going to Denmark.

Hvorfor skal Norske skattebetalere betale for flygerutdanninger? Du kan ikke kaste en stein i Oslo uten a treffe en stakkar som jobber som bartender for a betale tilbake alle pengene han lante for a bli flyger pa 80 og 90 tallet.
Jeg er en Nordmann som ble boende i USA, og trives veldig godt der.
JAR er en av de dummeste ting Europa har funnet pa. Det er absolutt ingen grunn til at jeg skal vite hvordan Honeywell bygde min FMS, eller hvordan GPS virker. Alt jeg trenger a vite er hvordan det skal virke, og hva jeg gjor nar det ikke virker. Jeg har ikke lov til a fikse det allikevel.
Jeg jobber na i Moskva en stund, og som en US utdannet flyger klarer jeg meg helt fint her borte. Til og med de litt eldre JAR flygerne jeg prater med syns det er mye tull i JAR.
Sa kom og tren i USA, du kan gjore det for en brokdel av det det koster i Europa, og aerodynamics virker akkurat pa samme maten der som her, en NDB eller ILS er stort sett det samme begge steder ogsa. Den Europeiske holdningen at de vet sa mye bedre begynner a bli litt gammel, og jeg har sett begge deler na og mener at det er pa tide a samarbeide for Kina utdanner alle flygerene trengt over hele verden. Om ti ar kommer vi alle til a ha drittjobber hvis det fortsetter sann som na.

Absolutely true DA50driver. There is nothing to gain by learning the JAR way, but rather tons of money to lose. And as pointed out JAR requires that you know lots of crap to pass your theory. Unfortunately for all of us in JAR country the idea of flight is different to the US. Just try getting an IR-rating for a PPL. You need to know the Boeing 737 EFIS, FMS and all.
This is purely designed to hinder private individuals from flying under IMC and provides nothing to the ATPL student. He'll learn all these things at the TR course for the type he's going to fly.
From what I've heard it's the frenchs' fault - they wanted to prohibit IR in combination with PPL - what good have they ever done for flight in Europe?

OnRoute

Finnish fees (only in Finnish).

Theory exams: 26e/each, CPL license issue 250e, ratings to CPL 100e or 250e, check flight 300e, if for more than one purpose add 150e (eg CPL+IR).
