SLC for CAA Personnel Licensing Charges Scheme

In response to queries regarding the use of SLC for CAA Personnel Licensing Charges Scheme in respect of the PPL, the Learning Forces staff have looked into the SLC policy and offer the following direction:

As stated in Annex A to PTC/462203/4/TD dated 28 Oct 04 (which is still extant), SLC can be used for flying training theory/ground examinations (including PPL).  However, it cannot be used for flight ratings where there is only the addition of aircraft types or it is the renewal of an existing license.  The applicant must meet all the other requirements of the scheme.

Don't forget to apply for your SLC this year and claim back up to £175.00!!!
