LicensingRoland StuckEGU Congress Olten 27 and 28 February 2010
Background • In March 2008, the OJ of the EU issued the new basic regulation 216/2008 which extends EASA's field of competence to licences and operations • EGU was involved in the drafting of the implementing rules about licensing (PP and RS) • In June 2008, EASA published NPA 2008-17 with the IRs about Flight Crew Licensing and medical fitness • For the glider pilot licences, all proposals made by EGU have been accepted (except the cloud flying rating) • 2 identical licences LPL(S) and SPL, differing only by the medical and the commercial rights LAPL(S) - Light Aircraft Pilot License (Sailplane) • EASA received 11000 comments (!)
Comment review • All comments have to be answered and a Comment Review Document (CRD) has to be published • A Comment review group has been established 5 subgroups: - Subgroup 1: Subparts B, C and I ( except flight test rating), LAFI and related AMCs • - Subgroup 2: Subpart A: theoretical knowledge (FCL.025, FCL.035), Subparts D to H, all Appendices, and related AMCs • - Subgroup 3: Explanatory note, Subparts A, J and K, Annex III and IV, flight test and related AMCs • - Subgroup 4: Medical LPL – Subpart B, section 3, Subpart D and related AMCs • - Subgroup 5: Medical class 1 and 2 – Subparts A, B except section 3, C and related AMCs
Subgroup 1 • All comments have to be answered and a Comment Review Document has to be published • EGU was represented in Subgroup 1 • Subgroup 1: Subparts B, C and I ( except flight test rating), LAFI and related AMCs (aprox. 2.500 comments) • Mathias Borgmeier (EASA), Mike Dobson (UK C AA) , Rudi Schuegraf (EAS), Pamela Campbell (IAOPA), Markus Haggeney (Balloons, GER), Kurt Brechbühl (CAA SWI), Roland Stuck (EAS/EGU), • 4 meetings were held • Most gliding issue were discussed directly with Matthias • Note: the subgroup can only make recommendations, final decisions are made by EASA
How will it continue ? • Following a discussion between EASA and the European Commission it has been decided that the CRD and Opinion for Part-FCL will be published before the ones for Part-Medical • For Part-FCL the CRD should be published by end of March 2010, we will have 2 months to comment, and the Opinion should be issued in August 2010 • The CRD and Opinion for Part-Medical will follow a couple of months later • Cloud flying rating this issue is dealt with by the working group FCL 008. The outcome will be published in an NPA and stakeholders will have a chance to comment
Conclusion • Despite several requirements are more stringent than the ICAO requirements or than the requirements we have at national level the EASA proposal is satisfactory • However we have not yet won the battle because the NAAs may still influence the outcome when the EASA Opinion will be submitted to the European Commission • Especially the LAPL is in danger because many NAAs are against. Also the AMEs strongly oppose the LAPL Medical • WE NEED TO DO LOBBYING AT THE NAA LEVEL IF WE WANT TO GET THE LAPL THROUGH !
