Make your voices heard! I attended the ALAE AGM on April 8th; total number of attendees - 16! Speakers included Eric Sivel from EASA who spoke of the proposed changes to technical log certification. What conclusion would he draw when considering such poor attendance?
I was fortunate to be elected - or rather, since there were vacancies and too few nominations - placed on the Executive Council. I used to be rather complacent about EASA, generally welcoming the idea of European integration. However, complacent no longer! Over the last year or so, I have been made aware of the intentions of some "competent" authorities and realise the dire future for the licensed engineer.
So, ladies and gents, join the ALAE. They are fighting your case with EASA, with no renumeration other than expenses and, almost without exception, in their own time - support them by joining. Visit
