EASA Publishes Rules For 'Harmonized' Pilot Licensing

Regulations Mean Licensing Will Be Standard Across All Member States

The EASA today published a proposal to the European Commission for a "harmonized" regulation on Flight Crew Licensing (Part-FCL) in the form of an "Opinion". This new regulation will ensure that the same pilot licensing requirements and related high safety levels apply in all Member States.

This "Opinion" covers requirements for pilot licensing for aeroplanes, helicopters, airships, powered-lift aircraft, sailplanes and balloons. Measures to ensure a smooth transition to the new rules are also provided. 

As requested by the European Parliament in its Agenda for Sustainable General and Business Aviation, the newly developed Light Aircraft Pilot Licence, which is part of the new regulation, will facilitate the access to aviation for a broader public while maintaining a high level of safety.

EASA's proposal was initially open to public consultation from June 2008 to February 2009. Over 8,000 comments were received from a wide range of stakeholders and this feedback was taken into account and integrated in this "Opinion".

The new regulation on Flight Crew Licensing will be adopted by the European Commission and enter info force as Community law by April 2012.
