But I still don't understand, why we needed to get new licenses, since we still have the ICAO, which - in comparison the the JAA - is a worldwide organization. Why not change the rules and requirements worldwide to the same, so all licenses are valid without a 'validation'? Why does every continent need its own licenses? I guess the reason lies within the possibility of making even more money with conversions... |
You're probably right on a govermental EU-Integration level, but I knew a lot of guys at CAA SRG who hated the whole thing, it was a massive paperwork exercise, the existing CAA rules and regs were just fine.
I'm really hoping it will get a lot easier in the future....
