UKPPL to EASA PPL=£65
The calculator then asks if you need to fly an Annexe 2 aircraft and says you need to tick Yes if you do and it then adds £35 to the total. That is the issue.
So obviously to fly both the total is £100.
I tried calling the CAA yesterday for clarification of the above and also the seemingly extra cost for conversion of the RT licence. Unfortunately all I got was a recorded message saying they are not taking any calls until the end of Novemebr due to their heavy workload and 25day turnround of licences!....

The EASA Principles make it look more ridiculous:
Where did it all go Wrong?
(b) to facilitate the free movement of goods, persons and
services;
(c) to promote cost-efficiency in the regulatory and certification
processes and to avoid duplication at national and
European level;
(d) to assist Member States in fulfilling their obligations under
the Chicago Convention, by providing a basis for a
common interpretation and uniform implementation of
its provisions, and by ensuring that its provisions are duly
taken into account in this Regulation and in the rules drawn
up for its implementation;
(e) to promote Community views regarding civil aviation
safety standards and rules throughout the world by
establishing appropriate cooperation with third countries
and international organisations;
(f) to provide a level playing field for all actors in the internal
aviation market.
3. The means of achieving the objectives set out in paragraphs 1
and 2 shall be:
(a) the preparation, adoption and uniform application of all
necessary acts;
(b) the recognition, without additional requirements, of
certificates, licences, approvals or other documents granted
to products, personnel and organisations in accordance
with this Regulation and its implementing rules;
services;
(c) to promote cost-efficiency in the regulatory and certification
processes and to avoid duplication at national and
European level;
(d) to assist Member States in fulfilling their obligations under

taken into account in this Regulation and in the rules drawn

The CAA are stating they are proud to be early adopters. Most other NAAs are delaying to the maximum.
Consequently they are bound to screw up legislation as they haven't had time to fully digest the implications
Look, for example, about the new requirement to email the CAA naming the examiner and not being permitted to take a skills test without confirmation from the CAA. This one is dated one month AFTER the 17th Sept changeover.
They are looking to see how to implement this, but shirley, they would have been better waiting to go through the requirements to see how the French dealt with it.
