At a recent meeting, one of the EASA €urocrats announced that the political lobbying was 'unhelpful'.....
Sympathy? If he wants it, he can find it in the dictionary between '!!!!' and 'syphilis'!
Europe is culturally and geogrpahically diverse. The closer to the grass roots you look, the more this is true. The same applies in aviation - why should someone in Norway have any say about private flying in Greece, or someone in the UK about private flying in France, or someone in Germany about private flying in Spain?
Remove all PPL-level activity from EASA's grasping clutches and recognise a minimum standard for cross-border flight as the ICAO-compliant PPL. Forget the LAPL, the EIR, the 'achievable' IR and all similar €urocratic nonsense and let everyone get on with life without the needless trouble and expense of wholly unnecessary and expensive €urocracy!
Keep up the political lobbying!
