Flight safety hazard.....EASA
I see that EASA is sticking it's head in the sand and making unrealistic demands for the certification of the new "glass" flight instruments that are coming on the market.
The EASA cost of getting an STC for the is about 6000 Euros plus of course the cost of producing the paperwork, the latest stunt from EASA is to limit the STC to one type certificate only and not have the STC valid for a number of typical aircraft (IE PA32 & PA34).
With this attitude to the more reliable and user friendly kit EASA is holding back progress to safer flying.......... this attitude NOT going to improve flight safety and I think is only resulted from EASA employees who simply dont understand small aircraft and are trying to impose large aircraft reguations.
The question has to be asked.......... Is EASA fit to be regulator?
