Firstly there are already workarounds in the offing not maybe so much for the owner pilot but for bigger GA.
Secondly there are major problems shoving this lot through as it stands. There are legal problems which EASA will be faced with.
That is why I dont think what has been passed to get the whole package through at this stagewill resemble what we end up with.
I dont think N reg in Europe will vanish with the stroke of a brush although I know thats what you would like.
Although the extensions to 2014 are claimed to be to get a Bi lateral I think EASA are fully aware that they will be no where near implimenting this lot on time never mind the member states who are not at all prepared.
A Bilateral has to happen for no other reason than that there will be a massive shortage of experienced pilots world wide with the fast developing areas of Russia China and third world countries.
There will have to be a cross acceptance just to fill the demand.
We dont know what has been said behind closed doors for 4 supporters of N to support The package to get it through must mean they have been given certain assurances we are not aware of.
What I was told about extensions to 2016 has been reiterated in the reports at the start of the thread (strange)
