EASA käynnisti yleis- ja harrasteilmailua koskevan tutkimuksen
In January 2015, the Directorate-General for Transport and Mobility of the European Commission (DG MOVE) commissioned the consultants COWI and Integra to study GA operations in Europe in order to better understand the current state of play of GA and promote GA activities. This study is aligned with the GA roadmap initiated by EASA. Attached are the letters introducing this project.
In order to understand this sector of aviation, a data collection is initiated through an on-line survey. The objective is to reach as much as possible individual end-users with the support of the European and national associations, aero clubs and any organisations dealing with GA. We expect that you will forward this survey to your members and possibly to other national associations or organisations we didn’t identified but could provide as well valuable data related to GA operations.
Please follow this link to access to the survey. The survey ends on 20th of September 2015.

Norjan VFR-opas 2015
The CAA Norway has updated its VFR Guide. The booklet is made to assist you as a VFR pilot in your planning and conduct of flight within Norwegian airspace. Here you can download it for free.
The vast majority of the Norwegian land masses consist of mountainous terrain with countless valleys and deep fjords. You will enjoy a spectacular scenery and great fun while flying in these areas, but you should also bear in mind that the environment may suddenly “bite” you during unfavourable flight conditions.
This booklet tries to raise the awareness of such unfavourable flight conditions. Relevant rules and regulations applicable to VFR flights within Norway are covered and so is other information necessary for safe planning and conduct of flight. Set your own limitations and prepare for the expected so you do not have to recover from the unexpected!
VFR Guide for Norway – 2015 Edition as printer friendly version. VFR Guide for Norway – 2015 as low resolution version.

Ilmailun uudet kieltoalueet voimaan 28.5.2015
The Finnish government has, on 21 May 2015, issued a decree on four new prohibited areas for aviation. Three of the areas are located in Helsinki (Kruununhaka, Meilahti and Munkkiniemi) and one in Naantali (Luonnonmaa). The new prohibited areas extend to a height of 150 m above ground or sea. The changes enter into force on 28 May 2015. The existing prohibited areas for aviation (Loviisa, Olkiluoto and Kilpilahti) remain unchanged. Any aviation activities within these areas are prohibited. In addition to conventional flight operations, aviation also encompasses the flying of remotely piloted aircraft and model aircraft.
For special reasons, however, Trafi may grant permission for flying in a prohibited area. Application for permission must be submitted to Trafi at the latest 7 days before the activities are intended to start.
Read more about the application procedure.
