Make sure you study for the test...it is hard.

dont worry juice, were you are going you dont need tests!!

Thanks for all the info and help. Someone told me that it was $110 when they did it a few days ago. True?

One was for around that amount and the other was for less. Just follow the guide and you'll pay the $60.

Yeah... mine was $60 also. I think the $110 is if you're registering an aircraft.

Thanks.

I'll have to tell my buddy that he just ripped himself off. Good to have these forums, otherwise, I'd be out $50
