The battle against some of the proposals in EASA’s FCL Opinion continues. FLYER received this email from AOPA. More details when we have them…
“The EASA Comitology Committee met in Brussels on October 14 to consider an EASA ‘Opinion’ on Pilot Licensing Requirements. Various stakeholders, including the GA community, had voiced significant concern about the Opinion and its future effect on pilot licensing arrangements in Europe – in particular the ability of European based pilots with FAA licenses to continue to operate within the European community and for European licensed pilots to obtain training at non-European based training centers.
The Committee held an initial discussion between EU Member States and the European Commission on EASA’s draft language. However, no action was taken on the Licensing Opinion, due to a number of outstanding issues, including some of the specific concerns raised by the GA community .
We expect the next meeting of the EASA Committee to take place mid-December 2010.”
