Hi guys, how about use ATPL theoretical course as CPL theory requirement to teach PPL not only LAPL. There is no difference between PPL and LAPL except instrument time if I'm right.

2 months ago PublicDear members,
I would like to bring your attention to the sailplane commercial operations within member states of the EU. As Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1976 (SAO) defines in Article 3 - Air operations (2), operators of
sailplanes shall engage in commercial operations only after having declared to the competent authority their capacity and means to discharge the responsibilities associated with the operation of the sailplane.Furthermore, SAO.DEC.100 Declaration defines conditions for how to declare and what information shall be included in the declaration template (Appendix 1.)
Despite those requirements, I just want to precise, taking into account the member state's experience and practice, if there is any additional information, document, or manual requested by the member state to be prepared by the sailplane commercial operator.
Thank you!
Have a good day! -

I've been refused my group 3 endorsment, where a large part of the practical experience was gained with my existing B1.2 licence (lots of tasks are common to the B1.2 and B2) because I was not "supervised", so I don't think FAA experience gained the same way would make it work. The point is, regulation and AMCs as they are written are almost impossible to meet, or, I'd rather think, made to protect the bosses of the avionic shops , so they, and only them, can have a licence, or the person they choose to grant one, for instance if they sell their business when they retire. And also, this helps to keep the wages of the employees low, as they can not go away and work on their own., and also helps them to control competition ...(no other shop can open, without a licenced person...). Keeping margins high, seems to be the priority, rather than safety, reason why lots of small flying clubs use aged avionics, and can not upgrade their planes with modern stuff.

2 months ago PublicDear colleagues, I share with you, in case it is of your interest, this year's edition of the "Vuelta Aerea a España". You can find all the information on the website or by contacting me directly. It is a magnificent opportunity to get to know my country from the air and share the experience with local pilots.

This is a great piece of work from the UK on how human factors affect see and avoid, the main tool we rely on today to prevent collisions in the air in an uncontrolled environment. I look forward to input like this to help shape future solutions for pilots.

3 months ago PublicIn memory of David Cockburn, The Honourable Company of Air Pilots, formerly the Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators (GAPAN)
David Cockburn passed away in January 2024.
I had the privilege to work with him in the European General Aviation Safety Team (EGAST) co-chaired by John Vincent and then Dominique Roland, and James Black.
EGAST closed in 2016 and safety promotion was then transferred to the EASA GA Advisory Bodies, with many other roles to perform.This is a picture of my personal copy of the pre-series dated 2017 of the GAPAN EASA PPL(A) Instructor's lesson Guide, co-authored by David.
David Cockburn was a fine gentleman, a passionate aviator and an inspired writer.
He will be remembered.

Let me bring up this topic again.
Are there any news regarding UAT?
Is there a way to build up pressure with EASA other than the fact that with UAT many accidents could have been avoided in the past?
