If they consider 'ATC contact' to be 'use', then it won't cost me any

How about a weather briefing at $ 1.50 a minute?

How about a $300 charge to renew your medical?


How about a $500 charge to issue your certificate and how about breaking the
knowledge tests down into 40 question subject areas and having to pass 8
tests @ $80 each.

if you think this is a joke, in England, the Commercial licence has 8 exams
at $120 each, the IR 8 exams @ $120 each

Now that is user fees - you aint seen nothing yet.

This is one of the reasons I maintain my FAA license, and have no
intention of getting a JAA one.
