Thanks for your clarification. I operate in EASA Countries and I know the new technologies could be useful. That's why I think a clarification from EASA could be necessary

Hello Team,
I hope this message finds you well.
My Name is Nebiyu, I have graduated in Aircraft maintenance technician and I have B737 NG ( CFM56-7B Engine) ATA 104 LEVEL III AIrframe, POWERPLANT and AVIONICS SYSTEM License.
Currently I am living in Poland and wanted to change my License from FAA to EASA in order to work in here but I am unable to do so. Can somebody guide me what I can do in this case?
I am ready to take any exam or trainings as well.
Looking forward to your assistance.
Thank you very much.
Best regards
Nebiyu Tamrat.

Invitation - Hang, paraglider and speedrider safety promotion webinar
Thomas Hytten, CAA Norway, March 17, 2025
Post invitation note: here is the recording:
Safety promotion with Mike - Airsports campaigns on Vimeo
https://vimeo.com/1068026968/91bb6a8b74
We are pleased to invite you to an upcoming webinar/workshop featuring Mike Richards, Manager of Engagement, Education, and Communications at the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of New Zealand. Mike has been instrumental in leading safety initiatives in coordination with the New Zealand's hang gliding and paragliding communities.
For aviation authorities and airsport organisations doing safety promotion.
Monday. 17. March
21:00 - 22:30 CET
Register here (free):

During the recent safety promotion meeting, we were introduced to New Zealand's proactive approach to enhancing flight safety for hang glider and paraglider pilots. Recognizing the value of these initiatives, Mike has graciously agreed to share his insights and experiences with us.
In this webinar, Mike will discuss:
Overview of Safety Initiatives: An introduction to the programs implemented by the CAA in collaboration with the New Zealand Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association (NZHGPA) to promote safety and best practices within the flying community.
Collaborative Efforts: Insights into how the CAA and NZHGPA have worked together to develop, protect, and promote the sports of hang gliding and paragliding in New Zealand.
Fly like a bird, think as a pilot: Safety promotion campaign to reduce incidents and accidents.
The past few years have unfortunately seen several fatal accidents involving hang gliders, paragliders, and speed riders. Perhaps we can find inspiration for a similar safety initiative based on what has been done in New Zealand.
This session will provide valuable insights into the strategies and practices that have contributed to the safety and growth of hang gliding and paragliding in New Zealand.
Dear Helmut,
Thanks for your comment and question.
DHV is indeed a prominent actor in Europe and we would be glad to promote your activity.
The article above has been published in the EASA Commmunity General Aviation on belalf of Thomas Hytten, CAA Norway, member of the Safety Promotion Network of the Member States.
Feel free to send me DHV or EHPU articles and I will also gladly publish them here.
Best regards,
Michel Masson
EASA Senior Business Partner Safety Promotion

Since its departure in June, His Majesty’s Canadian Ship (HMCS) Vancouver has hosted the first Air Operations Officer (AOO) to sail aboard a ship since the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) announced the establishment of the occupation in 2019. No stranger to firsts, Captain (Capt) Martin O’Hanley earned his AOO qualification as part of the initial cadre trained in 2021. Now, thanks to a joint effort between 12 Wing and the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN), Capt Martin is the first AOO to embark a HMC Ship while deployed on a named international operation.

Another excellent article from the team at Pilot's Who Ask Why - this time on Birdstrikes.

Great article, indeed.
Informative, well documented and well illustrated.
Published in 2024 but that doesn't matter, as it addresses a seasonal risk.

Kudos to Wendell for his quest. Indeed, the poor safety record of GA compared to CAT should not be considered as given.
IMHO this evil has two roots. One is based in training and the other in the equipment we operate. Both are subject to regulation by EASA and both seem to be regulated commerce-centric rather than safety-centric.
In regard to training, GA means essentially single pilot no-safety nets non-routine operations. For-profit training organizations, "anecdotally" use the cheapest equipment and offset the risks as much as allowed. The tragedy is that what is allowed is aligned with CAT, where multi crew, safety nets, routine operations is the norm thinking that this rises the bar, while in fact it lowers the bar.
In regard to equipment, I can't think of any incentive for OEMs to add risk reducing features beyond the minimum requirements, if this could bring the cost up, or the performance down. Also no incentive to add features which could facilitate single pilot-oriented training like for example in the military.
In conclusion, shifting more responsibility to pilots as suggested in intro, does not seem right to me. I am sure none of the GA victims wanted to die and they all had EASA licenses. This begs the question, whether an EASA license is adequate proof of ability to weigh own capacity versus risks?

In UK, Australian and New Zealand portable ADS-B IN/OUT appliances like the uAvionix SkyEcho are approved for use (UK CAA CAP 1391 and Australia CASA Civil Aviation Order 20.18 Amendment). What is EASAs standpoint on the topic? Is EASA working on a similar approval for the the EU?
