how much is it to get a Class 1 where you guys are?
me in the UK. first Class1 med exam must take place in Gatwick... travelling there costs !!! and the exam itself costs GBP500 so at the rate at the moment... HKD14.5 to GBP1.00... it is a hell a lot of money. just wondering if it is cheaper in other continents. i hold a class 2 at the moment.

Hey..mine was the cheapest ... $100 CAD in Ottawa, Canada. I know..everything is expensive in UK isn't it. Fly to Ottawa from London direct cost you about $600 Canadian, plus another $100CAD, total $700 Canadian. Of course, 2 days of hotel cost another $150 CAD. Ground Transportation $50. Total is about $900 CAD. Well..still cheaper than UK. Plus you have a chance to see the capital of Canada. !! WOW

I used to study in the UK too. For me, the UK is the worst place even in the world. u spend like 10 times more than in canada but get like 10 times worse also.

absolutely.
specially in aviation.
medical class 2 i paid 155 pounds... about HKD2000
an hour dual in cessna152 (been training for 35hours now... so lots of money down the drain) is 105 pounds = about HKD1500
class 1... £400.00 i think... might have gone up...
so i totally agree... will fly out and get one done elsewhere.
but the medical cert would not be valid in my state (UK) or not transverrable right??
rolling back to the topic... any outsiders (not currently reside in hk, overseas application hongkongers) or licence (medical class I or II or any private pilot) holder have been contacted at all??
