Unhappy

If I understand this thread correctly, it costs you £70 just for the CAA to update its file and issue a newly revised license; is that right?

Landing fees, high fuel prices and rental charges, and now administrative fees grossly disproportionate to the service provided ... it beats me how anyone can afford to fly in the UK!

What about £637 for a CPL or IR flight test?

That charge is made by the school - not the Authority.

Supply and demand - you want the signature, we can sell you one.

Tis true...but it is a requirement laid down by the CAA that you must complete the 170A before being put forward for the test....

Happy Christmas!

It's a requirement by the FAA, too, to have a sign off for a test - ANY test - what I'm trying to get at is that it's the greed of the individual school that screws you with a charge, higher than normal dual rate, for taking a 170A flight test for the instrument rating - and it's the downright evil charging policies of a school that rips you off for a 170A for a CPL flight test.

This one is not the Authorities fault - though the charges that they do make for legitimate services are a disgrace (especially when you know where some of the money goes).
