International AOPA held its 129thEuropean Regional Meeting in Germany at the weekend, with 33 delegates from 14 countries attending to hear an assortment of reports containing good and bad news for general aviation. The good news: IAOPA has fought off EASA’s damaging Dangerous Goods proposals, which would have made it illegal to carry a quart of oil or five liters of fuel in your aircraft – this no longer applies to aircraft under 2 tones. EASA has also abandoned the idea of flight time limitations for GA, and IAOPA has identified 30 points in the Single European Rules of the Air where national authorities may choose whether or not they enforce the regulations. The less good news: some countries insist on interpreting EASA regulations in the most onerous and costly way, EASA is boycotting the Partnership Group it set up with the GA industry and national authorities, increased taxes are strangling flight training even before EASA’s Approved Training Organisation requirements add more cost and bureaucracy, and economic recession continues to afflict our industry. But AOPA continues to fight on behalf of members and continues to make progress on the most important issues. |
