As well as the Dakotas, which a/c are going to suffer, with this new clap trap banning flights in them?

If you don’t like the way the EU is going and feel that the less than Democratic nature of the enforced Superstate troubles you, our traditions and the ability to fly our aeroplanes, then have your say here. Tell a friend too.

pretty soon, everything. As of September, Part M will no longer be with us, and all aircraft under 5700Kg will fall under EASA’s rule. Passenger aircraft without the required safety equipment (i.e, slides, etc… dependant on size and other escape options) will all be looked at. As yet, there appears to be no way around it, but there will be a loophole somewhere. Private pilots can carry a certain amount of passengers even charging them a reasonable amount of money for fuel and expences. Perhaps that is one avenue. That would forbid advertising of any kind though.
I’m certainly no expert on legislation, only having done the part 66 module and worked in the airline industry for a while. Someone with a bit more knowledge of the subject (Moggy?) may have a better answer.
