UK CAA:n lentolupakirjavaatimukset sekä ohjeita uuden eurooppalaiseen lentomiehistöasetuksen soveltamiseen
Changes to CAP 804 ‘Flight Crew Licensing Mandatory Requirements, Policy and Guidance’
CAP 804 has been amended to take account of changes to the Aircrew Regulation introduced by amending Regulation (EU) No. 245/2014 and consequent changes to advisory and guidance material. CAP 804 has also been amended to reflect the passing of end dates during the transition period.
The significant changes introduced by the amending regulation are:
•The introduction, for aeroplanes only, of the En-Route Instrument Rating (EIR), the Competency Based route to obtain the Instrument Rating and revised terms for the conversion of instrument ratings held on other third-country International Civil Aviation Organization compliant (ICAO-compliant) licences.
•The introduction of the cloud flying rating for sailplanes and powered sailplanes.
•Changes to the requirements for an examiner licensed by one European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) State to test a candidate licensed by another EASA State (briefing by the candidate’s State authority is no longer required; new rules apply).
The amendment to the regulation also makes numerous miscellaneous improvements to the text of the existing rules to resolve anomalies and ambiguities that have been encountered when applying the rules.

AOPA-yhteenliittymä sai sopimuksen SESAR’lta
A syndicate including AOPA UK has won a contract from SESAR to create and demonstrate a portable electronic conspicuity aid for general aviation which could retail for less than €1,000.
The syndicate involves the British ATC provider NATS – National Air Traffic Services – the German avionics company Funke, and the Edinburgh–based GA avionics manufacturer Trig. AOPA’s function in the syndicate is to carry out airborne trials of a Low Powered ADS–B Transponder (LPAT) made by FUNKE. It is expected that some 180 to 200 hours of flying tests will be required, and AOPA is planning a flight test program in conjunction with NATS. Tests will also involve a panel-mounted ‘LASE’ system manufactured by Trig. The aim is to provide GA with an electronic conspicuity system that was satisfy the requirements of all airspace at minimal cost and with no weight and balance considerations for aircraft.
