Recent CAA notice says this new reg is in force from the end of August. Seems to apply to most General Aviation in the UK that's flown under EASA. Has some "new" rules about carriage of PLB amongst other gems. Does it apply to mere mortals pottering around in a C152? Definitely seems to and definitely applies to ATO. Thoughts?
Update: for those frustrated by the easa regulations being split up in a haphazard way, try
this. Its all the operational easa rules together with everything arranged in the right order and not lost in legalese writing. Annex VII is PART-NCO. If your mount is bigger there's PART-NCC (complex non commercial).
Also note that from next year, aerobatics gets its own section PART-SPA which for example means you don't need the in flight documentation. Another facet that GA might want to consider is that PART-NCO makes some aircraft illegal to fly in IMC that were OK to do so privately (pitot heat, OAT gauge). And where the heck do you put the fire extinguisher in a tiny cockpit?
