I left BPIAA before all these validations came into place, so this is all news to me.
I'm curious if the validations are issued based on a practical test with the CAAC Examiner, or if they just issue them outright?
I can possibly see the CAAC validating the knowledge portion due to the screwed up test, but I can't see them risking signing off someone to fly contrary to their own regulations without giving them a practical test.
I guess what I'm asking here, is if there is an incident with a validated pilot, who get's the guillotine?
