Easy Access To Current Notices Of Proposed Amendment Provided
As A First Step
EASA has launched its new web-based rulemaking handbook (e-tool)
to facilitate access to EASA rules. The handbook currently includes
Notices of Proposed Amendment (NPA) for air operations (NPA
2009-02B, NPA 2009-02C, NPA 2009-02E) and for organisation
requirements (NPA 2008-22C).
The Air Force notes that many of us occasionally hear stories of
Airmen saving lives in combat, but in this case, an Airman who
saves the lives of more than 300 airline passengers is definitely a
story worth hearing.
