EU Regulation 1079\/2012 requires aircraft owners to equip their aircraft with 8.33 kHz capable radios within the next years. January 1st 2014 was already the deadline for all IFR aircraft, they need to be 8,33 capable if they want to operate in airspace C, B and A. Whereas European rules require only one 8.33 capable radios for aircraft used in non-commercial operations, the German DoT tries now to make two 8,33 capable radios mandatory in German airspace C, in Germany there is no any A or B airspace. As a consequence all German airspace above FL100, which is C airspace, and the terminal areas of the busier German airports (also C) would no longer be available for aircraft although being equipped in accordance with European regulations.<\/p>\n
AOPA Germany asked the BAF (German Supervisory Authority for ATC) already in last year\u00b4s March, how they will handle the new 8.33 requirement, one or two radios, but so far no binding answer is received, only the promise that stakeholders will be consulted. Also from the European Commission AOPA Germany has not received clear answer. Now the German DoT wants to jump in and make two 8,33 radios mandatory without the required consultation process. AOPA Germany will not accept this treatment, which will make German airspace to a no-fly-zone for many non-commercial European IFR operations. The attitude of the German DoT is clearly against the idea of a Single European Sky.EU-asetuksen 1079\/2012 mukaan ilma-alukset on varustettava 8,33 kHz:n kanavajaolla olevilla COM-radioilla l\u00e4hivuosina. IFR-lentoja suorittavilla koneilla m\u00e4\u00e4r\u00e4aika meni umpeen 31.12.2013, mik\u00e4li ne lent\u00e4v\u00e4t A-, B- ja C-ilmatiloissa. EU-direktiiviss\u00e4 vaaditaan koneeseen vain yksi 8,33 kHz:n kanavajaolla varustettu COM-radio ei-kaupallisessa lentotoiminnassa. <\/p>\n
Saksan liikenneministeri\u00f6 on kuitenkin sit\u00e4 mielt\u00e4, ett\u00e4 Saksan C-ilmatilassa kaikilla lentokoneilla tulisi olla kaksi 8,33 kHz:n kanavajaolla varustettua COM-radioa. T\u00e4st\u00e4 syyst\u00e4 Saksan ilmatila FL100 yl\u00e4puolella (C-ilmatila) ja vilkkaimpien lentoasemien l\u00e4hestymisalueet, my\u00f6s C-ilmatilaa, eiv\u00e4t olisi en\u00e4\u00e4 yleisilmailukoneiden k\u00e4yt\u00f6ss\u00e4, vaikka ne olisi varustettu t\u00e4sm\u00e4lleen EU-asetuksen 1079\/2012 mukaisesti.<\/p>\n
Saksan AOPA on tiedustellut maan lentoturvallisuusviranomaiselta tulkintaa EU-asetuksesta 1079\/2012 jo viime vuoden maaliskuussa, mutta toistaiseksi he eiv\u00e4t ole antaneet sitovaa vastausta. Asian tulkintaan ei ole my\u00f6sk\u00e4\u00e4n Euroopan Komissio antanut viel\u00e4 selke\u00e4\u00e4 vastausta. Tilannetta vaikeuttaa my\u00f6s se, ett\u00e4 Saksan liikenneministeri\u00f6 aikoo ottaa oman tulkintansa k\u00e4ytt\u00f6\u00f6n ilman kuulemismenettely\u00e4, joka EU Komission mukaan tulee kest\u00e4\u00e4 v\u00e4hint\u00e4\u00e4n 12 viikkoa. Saksan AOPA ei hyv\u00e4ksy maan liikenneministeri\u00f6n tulkintaa, joka k\u00e4yt\u00e4nn\u00f6ss\u00e4 est\u00e4\u00e4 ei-kaupalliset IFR-operaatiot tietyill\u00e4 alueilla maan sis\u00e4ll\u00e4 vastoin Single European Sky:n perusajatusta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
