JAA Approval is Possible
Hi Silver,
Owing to the fact that AAA has links with AFT in Coventry, a JAA-approved organisation, AFT can seek JAA approval for AAA as a satellite operation. This process can approve some or all of the CPL/IR course at AAA, ie., it may be purely a groundschool approval that is sought, or it may be the whole course.
There are sufficient differences in the FAA (CARC) and JAA flight syllabi that full approval will probably be left for the future, ie., when CARC goes JAA as it has indicated it wishes to do so. However, there is the ability to approve the groundschool alone and this would not be very difficult to achieve, albeit relatively expensive owing to the requirements for site inspection.
As to pilotio's comments about GI certification, I would be very surprised if any of them have yet achieved the Instrument Ground Instructor rating. This is the hardest rating and the only 2 GI's who had the rating no longer work there, ie. "A the B" and me!
