Cologne, May, 2017 On Air, Issue 15: General Aviation Editorial - Interview - Featured topic - Figure of the month - News & events The Importance of General Aviation General Aviation (GA) is among EASA's top priorities. The Agency has dedicated a large amount of resources and effort to develop simpler, lighter and better rules for GA. In partnership with the national aviation authorities, EASA created in 2014 the roadmap for Regulation of General Aviation (known as the GA Roadmap) as a contribution to a safer European aviation system. The Agency aims at bringing positive change to the GA community by simplifying existing regulations where possible, introducing flexible measures where necessary and developing safety promotion to address safety risks when rules are not necessary. Read more Interview with Pete Bunce, President & CEO of GAMA 1)      The General Aviation Manufacturer association (GAMA) represents more than 100 General Aviation (GA) manufacturers worldwide, can you tell us more about GAMA in a few lines? GAMA has grown continuously from its founding in 1970.  Originating as a US-based organisation created by the main fixed-wing GA manufacturers at the time, it has evolved into a global association with member companies spread across five continents.  In Europe alone we have companies with primary bases in France, the UK, Slovenia, Germany, Italy, Poland, Austria, Switzerland and Luxembourg – not to mention the footprint of these and other member companies across EU Member States.  It's often overlooked that we bring together airframe manufacturers from both fixed-wing and rotorcraft, as well as the leading avionics, engines, simulator manufacturers as well as large Maintenance Repair and Overhaul companies.  We also recently created a new GAMA membership category for companies that have yet to certify their aviation products, to bring together the exciting world of electric and hybrid-propulsion as well as technological innovation such as flight automation. Read more General Aviation Roadmap Update 2017 We are moving on! EASA established a few years ago some commitments about better and lighter regulation for General Aviation.  There was an urgent need for a change on the GA community. Aiming to ease the GA segment of unnecessary regulatory burden, and in taking a proportionate and risk-based approach to rules, we can now present a number of tangible results in various topics from the last 3 years: 1) Flying schools & private pilot training: The requirements applicable to Approved Training Organisations (ATO) have been found too demanding for small GA training providers mainly run by private flying clubs or even private individuals. EASA has taken these concerns on board and has developed new rules to make life easier for training organisations in GA. Read more 6  6 GA strategic principles: • One size does not fit all • Philosophy of minimum necessary rules • Adopt a risk-based approach • Protect 'grandfather rights' unless there are demonstrable and statistically significant safety reasons against doing so • Apply EU smart regulation principles; and • Make the best use of available resources and expertise And 6 GA objectives we are committed to in General Aviation Latest News 4 April 2017: Update of EU & USA Technical Implementation Procedures (TIP) 4 April 2017: EASA certifies first Long Range Underwater Locator Device designed and manufactured in Europe 4 April 2017: EASA welcomes the new Flight Standards Director, Jesper Rasmussen 25 April 2017: EASA Launches a consultation for new Certification Specifications for Airports  28 April 2017: EC225 helicopter accident in Norway 28 April 2017: First EASA /CAAC safety conference promotes aviation safety improvements 5 May 2017: EASA publishes a proposal to operate small drones in Europe Upcoming Events 10-11 May 2017: Part 21 Design Organisation Approval (DOA) Implementation Workshop 17-18 May 2017: STC Workshop 31 May 2017: Workshop on Cybersecurity in aviation 12-13 June 2017: EASA FDM Conference 2017 14-16 June 2017: EASA–FAA International Safety Conference 29 June 2017: 7th IORS Workshop 4 July 2017: EASA CAT SET-IMC Workshop SAVE THE DATE!  EASA Annual Safety Conference on Cybersecurity in Cracow on 8 November 2017!

EASA and Aviation partners launch Data4Safety

Forwarded message - From: EASA Press Release

Like Tweet Forward Cologne, March 31, 2017   EASA and Aviation partners launch Data4Safety On the 31st of March 2017 in Brussels, key actors[1] from the aviation sector (Airlines, Aircraft Manufacturers, National Aviation Authorities and Pilot Unions) agreed to join in a co-operative partnership named Data4Safety and initiated by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The Data4Safety Programme aims at changing from the current reactive approach to safety – which is based on accident and occurrence reports – to a proactive approach, analysing trends and situations which can lead to a safety hazard. Stakeholders within the aviation community will share data, information and knowledge in order to deliver safety benefits. Data4Safety will merge the very large and growing number of data sources available in the European aviation system and provide a critical mass of data. Analysis capabilities will be significantly increased thanks to the sharing of large amount of data and the use of the most advanced information and communication technologies in the fields of Big Data and Data Mining. In order to successfully implement one of the most innovative initiatives, part of the EU Aviation Strategy, the D4S members signed a programme charter which lays down the principles of collaboration, voluntariness, confidentiality and Just Culture. Patrick Ky EASA Executive Director said: "Data4Safety is a revolutionary project which will enable aviation stakeholders to significantly enhance aviation safety and may also be applicable to other means of transportation in the future, in particular rail and maritime". (1) Launching partners: EasyJet, British Airways, Iberia, Deutsche Lufthansa, Ryanair, Airbus, the Boeing Company, the European Cockpit Association (ECA), the Spanish Aviation Safety and Security Agency (AESA), Direction de la Sécurité de l'aviation civile (DSAC France), the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA), the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority (UK CAA), the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Note to editors: The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is the centerpiece of the European Union's strategy for aviation safety. Our mission is to promote and achieve the highest common standards of safety and environmental protection in civil aviation.

EASA/ICAO forum results in a new global framework for regional aviation safety oversight organisations and improved cooperation in Africa

Forwarded message - From: EASA Press Release

Like Tweet Forward Cologne, March 30, 2017   EASA/ICAO forum results in a new global framework for regional aviation safety oversight organisations and improved cooperation in Africa Cologne, 30 March 2017 –The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) achieved landmark progress last week as hundreds of officials gathered from around the world for a special jointly organised Global Forum on Regional Safety Oversight Organizations (RSOOs) for Global Aviation Safety. Hosted in Ezulwini, Swaziland, on 22-24 March 2017, this important event endorsed a proposal for a new global framework for regional aviation safety oversight and made tremendous progress on key initiatives to improve the recognition, efficiency and cooperation of Regional Safety Oversight Organizations worldwide. The meeting participants also agreed to set up an RSOO coordination platform to facilitate cooperation between RSOOs. "EASA is proud to propose its support for this new global RSOO framework and platform. This will also add to the support that we have been providing RSOOs worldwide for some years now." said Patrick Ky, Executive Director of EASA, at the Global Forum. In conjunction with the Global Forum, a Ministerial conference with specific focus on Africa was held and  led to the signing of the Ezulwini Declaration of Regional Safety Oversight Organizations in Africa describing how African States will work together to increase their regional cooperation and improve aviation safety oversight continent-wide. EASA, being at the centre of the regional aviation safety system in Europe, will lend its experience to help further strengthen regional initiatives for the benefit of aviation safety globally, and to reinforce the process of integrating RSOOs into the global regulatory framework. EASA was mentioned as a practical example of how regional aviation safety cooperation brings added value and efficiency to air transport. More than 200 participants from 48 States and 32 International Organizations attended the event in Swaziland, with 13 Ministers attending the Ministerial event from DRC Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, Lesotho, Mauritania, Nigeria, Togo, Sao Tome, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe. RSOOs are an integral aspect of global aviation safety, and provide a cost effective mechanism for regional groups of States to pool their resources and strengthen safety oversight.
