**NOTE:** Fees are billed based on the inspector's actual hourly rate
including travel time, lodging, travel expenses, and an administrative
fee determined by the finance department. The inspector's hourly fee
should also include a fixed percentage to account for the FAA's burden
(benefits such as medical, FICA, etc.) The FAA's International office
(AFS 50) in FAA Headquarters can provide additional information on the
process for determining appropriate fees. Please refer to part 187 for
complete details.
