EASA, comments to NPA's
Re EASA, you are probably as cynical as I , and any so called consultation is simply a waste of time, and all deals are done behind closed doors, in a non-smoke filled room somewhere in euroland! Well, I am assured it is worth commenting on the batch of "Notice of Proposed Amendments" (NPA) going through just now. The end date is Feb 28th , and topics covered are LPL, PPL instructors, post maintenance test flight pilot qualification, and many more.
I tried hard to comment some months ago, to no avail, but after a bit of prompting it seems fairly straightforward, as follows:
The website is <www.easa.europe.eu> You then choose EN for english and the home page offers "Comment Reponse Tool". Open that and register using your email and a password. You then "View Documents" and that takes you to the list of current NPA's. To open these, to view or comment a small note on page asks for "right click" !!! After you have left a comment, click the "icon" to confirm.
It would be interesting to find out if others on this forum have commented. I am also been told that each individual comment is counted and given equal validity
