"FANS is acceptable"

Says who? FANS is only capable of linking with the ATSU's located adjacent to the Atlantic, in the rest of Europe you need ATN. We have just spent a lot of money retrofitting our aircraft with CPDLC only to discover that they can't communicate with European ATC.

Not correct, you need ATN, FANS is NOT acceptable,according to the DLS IR!!!

The EC gives us an opportunity to share our views on the draft of the exemptions:

EC "better regulations"

The draft is on there as well. The feedback period ends on March 7th.

The original 29/2009 can be found here:

29/2009

And implementing rule 2015/310 is here:

2015/310

This Commission’s proposal includes the (EBAA request for) exemptions for aircraft which have a certified maximum seating capacity of 19 passengers or less and a MTOM of 45359 Kg (100000 lbs) or less, with a first individual certificate of airworthiness issued before 5 February 2020;

Thats why we need to give a positive feedback, vs. a possible negative one by individual retrofitters etc.

Dude ness, will this include commercial operators as well?
