Hi everybody
the implementation of these "safe" FTL in Italy, goes back to the end of 80's, when a long haul charter company (daughter of an UK Company), started its operations.
The Italian CAA didn't have the palest idea about "glass cockpit" equipment (they are not yet aware ) so it was really a boy's game for its DFO to convince the "Authority" to establish new rules for the modern technology cockpits, basically only to "optimize" his personal returns from this business, and not to create a safe and successful organization....as all the observers have realized last year....
The convincing tools were the "typical" italian arms to get unfair but convenient shortcuts for himself.....you all guess what?...
What does the CAA?.......still zzzzzzzz........zzzzzzzzzz..........zzzzzzzzz.......
