GAMA Praises European Commission, EASA For Simplifying GA Pilot Licensing

New Rule Goes Into Effect April 3

The European Commission has published a significant update to EASA's aircrew rules. The new regulation, which goes into effect April 3, takes an important first step forward in simplifying general aviation (GA) pilot licensing in Europe.

The rule establishes a new framework for the competency-based instrument ratings and the enroute instrument rating, which establish a more proportional path for instrument flight operations for typical GA pilots. Additionally, the regulation provides for an extension to the opt-out period for third-country license holders, which will simplify the transition of those European pilot license holders that need to convert their pilot licenses.
 
“EASA worked cooperatively with the GA community to better tailor the licensing regulations for general aviation pilots in Europe over the past five years. Today’s regulation contains the result of that activity,” said Jens Hennig, Vice President of Operations for GAMA, in a news release when the rule was announced. “This regulation is a concrete example of the start of a new approach to regulating GA in a more appropriate manner encompassed in the 'GA Safety Strategy.' The strategy is focused on more proportionate, risk-based rules for the European GA community in the areas of licensing and operations, and supports the restructuring of how aircraft design is done."
