EASA

I like the wish list idea.

But what we as sports pilots really need is one unified european wide standard and that all countries have to accept.
Allowing free access to all pilots and aircraft.
The rules need to cover not only GA , but Microligthing, ballooning and Gliding.

To which...
NPPL to be the European standard for a pilot. with seperate condition for Microlighters, balloonist and glider pilots.
Additional rating can be added like the IMC and Night rating, wobbly prop and retractable undercart.

Night VFR to be the night classification.

The currency rules to changed back to 5 hours every 13 months
with 2 yearly BFR. (who the hell came up with 12 hours in the second year).
Also because somebody missed getting a signature or did,nt do the required hours by the given date should,nt mean having to do a Skills test.
3 landing in 90 day should also allow for a check pilot.
Cross creditation of hours across all licenses.

Medicals as per the NPPL you own Doctors sign off.

aircraft certification as per FAA.
Permit aircraft one set of standards across europe.

Instructors.
Should not need to have a commercial license to instruct.
Instrution from unlicensed airfields as per microlights with a few restrictions.

Insurance requirments set at a sensible level.

o well
there probably more.
