RT Oral Exam

[sennadog]

Hi Peeps.

I've done a search for this but I can't find anything so can anyone help me?

I'm looking to do my RT Oral exam as soon as possible. The two contacts that I have are not going to be available in the time that I need so can anyone recommend someone in the Redhill/Surrey area to me?

I realise that this may advertising, so maybe you could email me with your suggestions or whatever.

Also, how much does the exam cost? I've heard prices ranging from £40.00 to £100.00.

Cheers, a drenched and grounded Senndog!

There is a list of examiners on the CAA website - have you looked at that?

[sennadog]

Of course not! Too obvious!

Cheers Evo.

Well, the nearest that I can get is this page.....

http://www.caa.co.uk/dap/radio_licensing/default.asp

which doesn't tell me much and I've been holding for half an hour on the CAA's wonderful telephone system.

Any other ideas?

But of course....

(OK, it's not on the CAA website, but the CAA link to it... )

It's a .pdf, so you need Adobe's Acrobat Reader....

The best place to start looking for information is:

...or catch a train into London and do it at Guildhall University, by Tower Bridge. Can't remember how much.

I paid £40 to do it at Coventry (better not say who with, in case it's advertising). You should be able to avoid paying £100. Definitely worth travelling a bit further afield and paying less

What the oral R/T difficult ?
I fly from Coventry too and will be taking my exam in the tower.

What can I hope to expect ?

Thanks

I used Nick Papillon at Blackbushe School of Flying this weekend. Very relaxed and fair, give him a call....
