Oh yes almost forgot
AAI are abusing the hell out of the validation "agreement" of the JAA's. They are issuing validations year after year to persons who are too lazy or incapable of obtaining the JAA license, to fly JAA register A/C, namely Icelandic.
I was of the understanding a 12 month validation was issued on a one off basis by a JAA member state if that person was in the process of obtaining a JAA license by attending a recognised school.
It seems to me the Icelandic CAA are in the pocket of AAI on this issue also.
