Question C.A.A. Fees

Could anyone please tell me the issue fee for a SEP (land) P.P.L. with RT licence. I can't find the answer anywhere on their website!

Cheers

How much is it? The link won't work for me.
However much it is its probably outrageous and its the CAAs fault.
Dont they realise lots of pilots are poor?

You need Adobe Acrobat reader installed - you can get it free here. You really should take a look. But yes, it's ridiculous - for example, grant of a PPL(A) is £143 and you then pay a further £57 every five years - but I doubt that they care if pilots are poor or not...

You think that's bad - my night qualification set me back £64 for the words "The privileges of this license may be exercised at night". That's £1.36 per letter.

Hang on, that means someone owes me £212.16 for this reply!

When I sent off for my IMC rating, it was £63....however, they sent me back a signed and sealed 'Instrument Rating Certificate of Test'.....that saved me about £4000 !!!

How do you get them to do that? I could do with one of those!

My FAA PPL cost me the grand total of $0.

The FAA IR was issued for free, but I did have to pay the instructor, the examiner, and the written exam fee.

It's the government's fault. It told the CAA it has to be "self funding", and ripping us off for licence issue is about the only way to do that.

Bit like telling the Army to be self-funding...

Whatever you do, don't suggest that to Tony Blair or Gordon Brown!
