Skills test tomorrow
On a slighty different note, is it me being tight or do the CAA seem to want to extort money out of us at every turn? £180.00 just to issue a PPL, I cant imagine the cost of admin plus printing the license plus reasonable profit would be a fraction of that in reality.

Unfortunately the CAA gets no government funding. So it has to cover all costs from the fees it charges. If the DVLA didn't get a budget from the taxpayer, imagine how much your driving license would cost.
The costs it 'has' to cover from our fees would be a lot lower if it slimmed itself down, simplified various processes and basically stopped acting as an employment agency for ex-RAF personnel.

Thanks for that Claverley. Always good to know that examiners are really quite helpful...hints sound good! One of our examiners is quite a scary seeming chap. But there again, my instructor is also an examiner for the club and hes really nice (although I know I wont have him!!)
Still, much to do before I reach that level.
Congrats on getting yours; and Benppl...good luck with yours!
