JAA, JAR, EASA, EU OPS ????
Howdie. Can somebody simplify European terminology.
An I correct to assume that as of April 2012 JAA & JARs and the associated ACM etc will cease to exist.
It appears that the EASA is being established and slowly taking over as the European Aviation Authority for Commercial Flight Operations. If i'm correct then this authority will have it's own regulations and sub regs, appendices, ACMs etc.
What are the present EU OPS labels attached to approach charts? Are they new codes to signify compliance with EASA ops.
Is this new authority to be based in Brussels?
Pls help as there's a jumble of abbreviations out there.
