HHi,
Have been informed by a reputable source within EASA together with one of the leading aircraft manufacturers in Europe about an important decision concerning the Uprt-Loc mandatory training effective as per 19 Dec.2019 for MPL and ATPL
training courses.
There will be a meeting next November within EASA rulemaking committee to review and possibility amend the requisites for the flight training.
EASA will decide if to make mandatory the use ( up to know only recommended ) of single engine aircraft with structural safety margins of +6 -4 G ‘s
carried out by instructors with not only the minimal requisites but also experience in the field.
Safety and liability concerns dictate to make use of the most appropriate resources available, this will certainly affect ATO’s at least those equipped only with normal or utility category aircrafts and instructors with the minimal requirements.
I would like to keep my sources private but have no problem to transmit any info via a PM.
Also would be pleased to hear any additional info in this respects
