Wholly cow! Thank you for the link!
Luckily we are not in the EU...yet. Although the education here will give you a complete IAR, we do not have to bow under all their regulations.
The air traffic is a good reason though but still.
I recall when I visited the CAA HQ in Reykjavik. Made me realize things. The Icelandic airspace under our ATC is the largest one in the Northern hemisphere. But there is quite some traffic, since all the trans-Atlantic flights go through it.
Over the country itself (Iceland is roughly the Size of England) there is however not so much traffic, and a very nice scenery. A normal flight in a private aircraft therefore is often just planned as one goes! You are being monitored and you do have a plan, but a permission for sightseeing and you change the plan as you go. It is a most wonderful thing!
So I guess this is one Idea
