get in, drive without hitting anything.
Slightly more taxing than the test in some US states then.
True!
My Florida driving test didn't leave the car park.
Really.
Seriously.
No kidding.
I hope your pilots test was a bit more involed lol
We can only hope.
Is that the reason it's cheaper over there?
Nah... actually the European flight test is easier.
It's just the £697 in examiners fees for each one....
Ouch, how many do you have to take?
The expensive Euro ones are for the commercial licence and the instrument rating. The others are cheaper.
All the checkrides in the US are about $300, and it all goes to the examiner, rather than the government. I've done 5 so far, with another one for may instructor certificate coming this week. That will let me teach people to fly!

Examiner, "So, Mr TeePee, welcome to your driving test. We'll start with a friendly chat about yourself... what did you arrive here in today?"
TeePee points "That Cessna"
Examiner, "On your own?"
TeePee, "Yup"
Examiner pauses....."Well done, you've passed. Now....can you take me to my Mam's house 400 miles north of here?"
