How do you pronounce EASA?
Just wondering because at my annual medical this week, the AME was pronouncing it ee-arse-ah. which amused me. I thought it was ee-sa or eez-er.
The reason he was talking about EASA is that apparently they will want him to take a test, so he is giving up being an AME.

Talking to staff at the European Aviation Safety Agency in Cologne you hear many different versions.
The English there say Ee-ahh-sa. The Italians say e-sa with a short e sounding almost like an i. The French say Ee-sa but it then sounds like Ee-sa the European Space Agency. The Germans say Ay-ah-sa. I've not spoken to the Greeks or Romanians so can't say.
I'm sticking with Ee-ahh-sa said loudly and slowly in the English tradition.
Actually, it doesn't matter how one says it - they're bad news.

you have to remember the meaning of EASA. It obviously has nothing to do with safety for those who thought it might have.
The real meaning of EASA
EXTERMINATE AVIATORS STRANGLE AVIATION think that about sums it up?

All he has to do is review a few chapters on rectoscopy and peristaltics...
Anyway, pronounciation. Anything is good except "ee-see".

Pronounced with emphasis on the "arse"..........
Would that be anything like the "little test" they want pilots to do to use an FAA IR in Europe?
