Will it happen in the UK???
A simple yes or no..with a quick explaination will suffice....
Will the UK CAA ever see the light and certificate single engine IFR Ops? or perhaps do what they do in europe..exempt freight Ops.... Thoughts..and opinionated answers please!! :ok: H |
or perhaps do what they do in europe..
oops, the continent is isolated.... ;) regards |
I may be far from what you are on about, but surely the TBM7 is certificated??
|
catch:p
and yep the TBM is certificated.........but not for revenue generating service....which was my original question:ok: h |
No, I don't think they ever will.
If they were going to approve, they would have allowed commercial S/E ops by now. People have been trying for years to get approvals. I really can't understand their intransigence on this one, as far as freight ops are concerned. Fare paying passengers, I agree should not be exposed to this possible increased risk. |
UK-CAA will only now have one vote out of about 25 - it's EASA that matters.

What 'possible increased risk'? According to the figures Oz' CASA used to analyse the safety of light piston twins (ie non-transport cat/FAR25/whatever.)vs SET the demonstrated, fatality & injury rates were at least equivalent to the twins, and in some areas better. This was based on what had been achieved in service, not some hypothetical prognosis.
So, again, how can you call it an increased risk? Blody tipos... |
As Gengis says EASA is what matters. I think they will have no choice, have heard rumor that the PC12 is first up as is approved as public transport in other states
|
So Capt Sparrow.......if your rumour is right...its likely to be a type specific certification....rather than say..Single engine turbine. Mr Piper..Mr Cessna...and Mr Socata...wont best be pleased.:confused:
|
Your right they wont be! Something to do with one of the scandinavian countries accepting FAA certified aircraft. As this state is part of JAA then the JAA are almost forced to accept it also, loop holes and backdoors i think but all good fun.
|
So if its just certificated aircraft.......Pt135 in FAA speak,...then its only likely to be the PC12, and the Cessna Caravan. Or do you think otherwise?
