Easa are about to re write the rules and are looking for comments as they seem to want to tighten up on the existing JAR/FCL rules.
Have your say now before they put something in place you don,t like.

Perhaps all the submissions paid off. EASA have now published their final decisions on this consultation and it looks good for the adoption of a UK style restricted PPL right across the EU states which can only be good news. To see more have a look at the EASA website.

Well folks this is the final day to get your submission in if you have not already done so. It is no use bitching about the result if you have not participated. Whatever your views do take this rare opportunity for the aviation democratic process to work as it should always. “Never ask for whom the bell tolls………..!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Cheers,

You’re exactly right Trapper 69, the document does require careful reading. Indeed (and in response to letters from a number of Today’s Pilot readers) the next issue contains an article in which we’ve clarified the questions raised by the consultation document. As for numbers, well so far, less than a dozen people have filled in the questionnaire, which really isn’t very good. Come on folks, as Trapper 69 has pointed out, it really is vital that we all respond. GA means ‘General Aviation’ not ‘General Apathy’, you’ve all got a vote, so use it! Apologies for the hectoring tone, but this document could have a profound impact on all recreational flying in Europe. By giving sport pilots the ability to vote on these issues, EASA has at least been democratic, and as George Bernard Shaw once observed, democracy is a device that insures we shall be governed no better than we deserve.

Dave,
Thanks for the advice. Have filled in your questionnaire but there are quite a few areas where it is necessary to read the actual consultation documents if you are to appreciate what is involved. Perhaps you might let us know how many responses you have had to date. Totally agree with your comment that a really maximum effort is needed NOW from all in private, sporting and recreational aviation. EASA need OUR advice especially as GA represents by far the largest number of folk in civil aviation in Europe and we just cannot afford the level of bureaucracy and costs inevitably linked to the old NAA’s like our own CAA.

Alternatively, fill in the form from the link on the Today’s Pilot home page. This document does matter, and if you don’t vote now you can’t moan later!

Have just finalised my own responses to the EASA NPA 2/2004. I had a total of 23 response forms to complete in the format supplied and required by EASA if my submission was to be taken into consideration. The form template takes around 500KB and my own text averaged around 6KB each time or just over 1% of the total amount to be transmitted by email. In my case over 12MB with my non-broadband snail internet/email modem. What an utter foulup in terms of encouraging a reasonable level of response from all of us so-called EASA “stakeholders”. What do you think?

PS – It really is vital for all of us in GA to get a response into EASA either direct or through your own representative body in your own country. Our views must be taken into account as GA represents by far the greatest number of people involved in civil aviation in the EU countries. The EASA website has all the details so if you want to influence policy and escape the usual GA level of apathy get stuck in with a plain Word document comment to your GA representative body such as PFA, BMAA, BGA, AOPA(UK) etc. No need to use the EASA format and a huge emailing phone bill if you send it to the above organisations.
