Hi regarding FI revalidation FCL.940.FI you have to fly in the 50 hours in the appropriate aircraft category as FIs, TRIs, CRIs, IRIs, MIs or examiners, So you are given credit for flying Gliders as an instructor.
In the SFCL.360.FI Recency requirements you are given no credit for working as a FI in the above catagorys ??? Why not ?
Anybody have a opinion regarding that ? or is it just the SFCL thar has to be updated ?

Hello Everyone!
Commission Regulation 2023/217 brings a change to the performance criteria for dispatching an aircraft. The requirements in points CAT.POL.A.230(e) and CAT.POL.A.235(e) should be applied cumulatively, not alternatively. Does it mean that during dispatch landing performance calculation both the 0 wind condition and the actual conditions have to be taken into account, according to the table in GM1 CAT.POL.A.230 & CAT.POL.A.235? Does it mean that in case of limiting performance with 0 wind the dispatch is not allowed even if the relevant criteria are met for the alternate aerodromes (one or two alternates) and/or performance is not limiting at probable wind with dry and wet runways? Can someone confirm this please?
Thank you.

Hi all,
Do we have to de-register the aircraft from the aircraft register book once the aircraft got crashed and is no more in service?
Correct, Claudia!

Excellent article. I will add this problem to our educational program for ATC and pilots students in Aviation Meteorology subject. I will suggest to my colegues in the ATC/Pilots Simulation Center to add the procedure of the QNH check.
Well, the provision of barometric pressure by the local meteorological service to ATC is automated, so the human mistake is eliminated. The problem can occur in case of a bad setting of the altitude of the pressure sensor (or technical failure). We've had this problem in the past at the airport. The problem was solved after high-precision measurement of the position and altitude of the new meteorological garden by the National Geographic Institute experts.
I have a question:
Is there a significant error in the altimeter setting that can result in the incident?

Can one AOC allowed to have both rotary and fixed-wing fleets under one Accountable Manager?
Thank you all for the valuable comments

Hello everybody, I need to shed some light on another grey area in 965/2012. Does an operator NCC/SPO with SPA.HOFO approval still need to comply with SPA.HOFO requirements if he now operates a non-complex helo? Basically is SPA.HOFO applicable under NCO ops? Thanks in advance. Kelly

Hi everybody,
we would like to equip our planes (Beech 350) with PBE. Can someone advise me if the PBE installation needs to be approved (STC atc.). Thank you
Hello Vastimil. We have Air Liquide PBE's in ours B350s in CAT, which is a compressed oxygen type PBE. You don't need DG approval to carry a PBE for crews in your B350. My understanding is that PBEs when shipped together via cargo for example are considered DG (UN 3072, CL9). But all safety devices to be used by crew members in an aircraft cannot be considered toward a requirement for DG approval. Hope this helps!

Hi,
I am dealing with a clarification about AMC3 CAT.OP.MPA.182 : the tab APPLICATION OF AERODROME FORECASTS (TAF AND TREND) TO PRE-FLIGHT PLANNING. As you know, you should consider gust for pre-flight planning.
Here is the case :
- the destination aerodrome is accessible considering TAF
- after take-off, an amedment of TAF is available and there is gust which would infringe pre-flight weather conditions.
In-flight, should gust be taken into account as for pre-flight planning ? In the example : does that mean that the destination is not accessible anymore ?
