Night Rating

[shboy]

A quick question, if anyone can help me out. I'v just got my PPL back with a night rating issued - but I can't see any difference in any of the text on the license, or rating card. Where should the night rating or night privileges be annotated? I want to make sure I haven't been "mugged off" by the CAA! Regards,

On mine, Flight Crew Licence, Page 3 of 4, Section IX.

At the very bottom of this section, "The privileges of this licence may be exercised at night."

That's because its a Qualification and not a Rating, so you won't find it on the Rating page.

So at £87 for the amemdment, that's only £8.70 per word. Very expensive ink they use at the CAA.

£93 if you count courier return. Plus the cost of sending the stuff there in the first place.

And over three weeks at the moment? (at least for a new issue PPL)

If you apply for the night rating at the same time as the PPL do they still charge you the £87?

Yup. I sent my application off just under 3 weeks ago, got it back yesterday, and was charged the £87 for the night qualification, on top of the fee for the PPL.

So in answer to the OP, yes, you have been "mugged off!"
