Don't u just luv this man's terms and conditions - quote from faaeurope.us website:
It is entirely the applicant and their instructor's responsibility to ensure the required paper work and applications are correct. If the required paperwork is not correct upon my arrival, all proceedings will be immediately discontinued and all fees and expenses will be forfeited.
3. Last but not least, a huge display of bad judgement after the flight test, DISCUSSING THE FLIGHT TEST WITH ANYONE IN ANY LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH within earshot of the examiner!
I better make real sure I dont get any phone calls from France on my cellphone after finishing the test! What is he going to do, cancel the certificate he has signed?

It gets better guys (new edited faaeurope.us website)
*BUSY BUSINESS MEN/WOMEN APPLICANTS: Please, Please don't have your non-pilot PA, secretary, spouse, friend, non-FAA instructor etc., call me to discuss the technical requirements for your training and/or flight test. This practice is a real time waster & extremely counter productive. Also, PAs or secretaries that phone me because their boss wishes to speak to me and then put me on hold while they check to see if he or she is now ready to speak to me will find that I simply put the phone down. Sorry, but it happens all the time.
*Do not send paperwork to me in advance as I will not review it until the day of the flight test. Paperwork preparation is the responsibility of the applicant & his or her instructor.
*It is extremely unwise to schedule non-flight test related appointments immediately before or after your flight test as this will have no bearing on the time, duration or conduct of the flight test. If it appears that the flight test will conflict with business meetings, holiday plans etc., then re-booking for a later date should be considered.
*PLEASE DO NOT BOOK A FLIGHT TEST UNLESS YOU ARE SURE YOU CAN COMPLY WITH THE FLIGHT TEST CHECKLIST AVAILABLE ON THIS SITE PRIOR TO MY ARRIVAL.
*YOUR FAA FLIGHT/ENDORSEMENT INSTRUCTOR MUST BE ON HAND ON FLIGHT TEST DAY*
CASH ONLY!
NO PART OF THE FLIGHT TEST WILL BE CONDUCTED UNTIL FULL PAYMENT IN CASH IS RECEIVED ALONG WITH A SIGNED COPY OF FAA EUROPE LTD's TERMS & CONDITIONS. POSITIVELY NO EXCEPTIONS.

- Flight test booking cancellations within less then 72 hours of the scheduled flight test will be subject to a cancellation fee not to exceed 50% of the quoted flight test/s fee payable prior to re-booking as well as all expenses incurred as a result of the booking.
