Aerial Chauffeur is right. EASA is now blatantly advocating aviation "racism". They seem to be involking one of the ICAO founding principles that any state can, for any reason, prohibit flight in its sovereign airspace. This "catch all" clause was a prerequisite in order to get national states to sign up to ICAO in the first place and get the whole thing off the ground, so to speak. (Did not realise that EASA was a "state" though)....If the EU is so intent on keeping non EASA licensed pilots out of EU airspace maybe they should consider banning the lot...oh they cant do that can they? Also what about the thousands of African migrants streaming into Europe every week, i don't see much effort to curtail their activities.......No this is a politically motivated witch hunt, no more no less. Its all about power, control & revenue. However i am confident a solution will be reached. Don't negotiate with EASA, thats pointless. Go above them.
