The CAA charges a fee for the issue, revalidation, renewal, variation or conversion of a pilot licence or rating.

The fee for your application will be taken when you submit your online application. For any paper applications or applications with variable fees, the licensing team will contact you to make your payment after submission.

Additional costs, such as the charge for using our secure courier service, are payable at the same time as the fee for your application. 

Please see below our licence issue pricing details.
