converting a uk cpl to a uk ppl
i would like to go back flying again after several years , my atpls exams are expired , and i converted my jaa cpl to an easa cpl a few years back as i didnt want to loose the cpl
i am now 40 so the chances of making it commercially are very slim. however recently i went to a local flying school to get my single engine revalidation , however because i hold a cpl they wanted to charge me 240 euros an hour where as if it was a ppl it would only be 185 euros an hour. despite the single engine revalidation being the same for both , the price difference was 55 euros an hour . i was hoping to do it there as i live near the school , nearest other school is 70 miles. i must ring the caa uk next week as surly it should be easy to get a uk ppl based on a uk cpl so that i can go flying again. i thought it was a bit harsh by the school , anyones thoughts? |
Go to a school that's not going to rape you rather give up a hard earned privilege.
We don't charge any more regardless of the type of licence. Sep is sep. |
I would see if you can talk with an adult, then explain the position and ask if they want your business or not, personally if they still insisted on this I would take my business elsewhere anyway - but then I can be an awkward so and so with idiots like that!

converting a uk cpl to a uk ppl
Am I missing something, as a CPL holder you automatically have PPL privileges.
|
a cpl does i suppose , but if asked to produce a license and once they see the cpl , then its the higher rate . a s/e rating is exactly the same for both as i far i know, thanks for input guys

As suggested, tell 'em to stick their "offer" where the sun don't shine ,then go forth and multiply.
Iwould need an extremely humble, grovelling apology from a school like that, before I would even consider further discussion with them, and i'd expect a "lower than ppl rate on the basis that, if i were qualified to CPL level, I'm already demonstrably more proficient than a PPL, therefore their job is easier! I'd go out of my way to go elsewhere and tell them just why they are not getting my cash.....robbing barstewards! |
As others have said.
It's an SEP rating you're revalidating, the licence it's attached to is and should remain irrelevant. A school with this attitude probably have other bad habits as well, I'd go elsewhere. G |

i thought it was a bit harsh by the school , anyones thoughts? Renewing an SEP Class Rating requires exactly the same actions and qualifications, regardless of the Licence to which it is attached. There is no justification for a higher charge. I think that Foxmoth's advice is exactly what I would do in your place. I would see if you can talk with an adult, then explain the position and ask if they want your business or not, personally if they still insisted on this I would take my business elsewhere anyway...

How much?
There are parts of the male anatomy which should only be touched when having a medical - not when booking a flight!
|
I think you need to change your AME!
|
How much for an ATPL holder?
