Hi All,

I'm not disputing the courier charge as I'd like to have my documents returned to me in a secure fashion.

The link for the courier charge as below states "The courier charge will be added to your service charge. Choosing the secure courier will mean that we will be able to offer a speedier service and track your package in the event of non-receipt. ".

Therefore, I presume I enter only £67 on the application form SRG1104 (Section 13) to convert my lifetime validUK CAA PPL(A) to an EASA PPL(A). The CAA will automatically add the £10 to the charge their end as I am not opting out of the courier service within Section 12? Or do I enter £77 in Section 13?

I am sorry to ask here but it isn't clear at all on the CAA website, I can't seem to find a FCL telephone number(!) and I haven't yet had a reply from the FCL email address.

I've left it late as I haven't flown for seven years and have recently got back into the air and have renewed my SEP rating so the time has come to convert to an EASA licence.

Many thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Richard

Nearly 2 years since I applied for my license, but one detail I remember was being told not to fill in an amount, and put words to the effect of “charge as appropriate” on the form.

They did, and all was well. I did it on a computer based form, but can’t remember how I was able to do that.
