Commect to EASA on these have to be in by Feb 28th..
I tried looking around the Net to find any more comments on this but nothing much out there.. Has anybody replied/commented.
I suspect most pilots out there won,t have even realised what is happening.
like this rule.
NPA 2008 17b
In previous 24 months - 12 hours as P1 including 8 take offs and landings or
In previous 24 months - 6 hours as P1 and one training flight with an Instructor
At least once every 6 years pass a proficiency check with an Examiner.
(Basically every pilot will have to pass a GFT every 6 years ie the same test as any new pilot has to take)
The idea of a proficiency check with an Examiner will concern some pilots so it should. This is a requirement of the European Parliament it is not something EASA have asked for. It is very unlikely this can be changed. Every six years a large number of Examiners will be required to conduct all these proficiency checks. It would be better if Instructors were allowed to conduct these as there are more Instructors available.
