Additional charges of $100/hr apply to correct 8710-1 forms, if aircraft or pilot logbooks are inaccurate and/or incomplete or endorsements are incomplete or missing. If the applicant is ineligible to take the test due to English proficiency, pilot paperwork or aircraft issues a $200.00 fee will be charged. This includes logbooks that are not correctly totaled.
Charges may apply for travel to airports other than KGTU, KEDC KILE or KAUS. Please discuss this with me prior to booking a check ride.
Re-exams after failure – If the applicant fails any portion of the test, a Notice of Disapproval will be issued. There is no charge for a retest on a test I have given, that is completed within 60 days. However, a charge for the cost of my travel will be assessed. The cost of the travel will depend on the distance and time involved for me to return to complete the retest. Retests after 60 days require a complete test to be accomplished with the appropriate fee.
Letters of Discontinuances (ground or flight) – There is no charge for completing a test where a Letter of Discontinuance has been issued by me, providing the test is completed within 60 days. However, a charge for the cost of my travel will be assessed. The cost of the travel will depend on the distance and time involved for me to return to complete the retest. Letters of Discontinuance after 60 days require a complete test to be accomplished with the appropriate fee.
Since there is no charge for a Retest on a Notice of Disapproval or Letter of Discontinuance, there are no refunds once the test has begun.
