August sees the implementation of EASA Part NCO. This requires even small helicopters to carry a PLB.

Another example of EASA applying criteria catering for the worst case scenario across the board which is dis-proportionate to the risk for the majority of flights.
Cost of compliance and administration of the requirement has not been properly assessed in my view.
Let's hear what the Red Tape review board think!
