Basically EASA were working on the PPL stuff supposed to be complete by October this year and would then move onto commercial licences.
the most exciting part is conversion of 3rd country IRs to EASA. As most PPL IRs are based around N reg it would appear sensible to put something in place which is attractive making the need to fly N reg in Europe less attractive.
This appears to be the case with the conversion process on the table.
We have to see Whether this runs the course or whether negative influences in Europe put a spanner in the works and damage it.
As for moving onto 3rd country BASA on commercial licences? Thankfully the current regulations have been delayed for a further year.
hopefully something more sensible will come along before the now April 2015 deadline.
This has to happen as GA in Europe is dying through over regulation and high costs a point the training industry lobbying against these changes fail to see!
Ok if they keep lobbying and sadly were successful it would very much be an own Goal on their part so I very much hope these negative forces see the light and Lobby for the benefit of their Industry and not to destroy it as they appear to be doing at present.
