Welcome

Hi Jurgen,
AS part of a proactive airline WHM risk reduction program Birdstrike Management Ltd staff have carried out over 190 WHM Standards Checks across Europe since 2009, evidencing the need to provide additional guidance on good practice. Until good practice is the norm, it remains important to provide such guidance to enable all airports to develop their WHM provision to acceptable levels. Efficacy can be measured by how the WHM Plan has been developed and implemented; evidenced by a robust documentation process describing in detail the efforts of the WHM team during all operational hours.

Hi !
Here is useful article:

I guess it depends on how you look at it: this requirement just defines “how far” an alternate can be - Operators are still required to do precise performance calculations for actually going to the alternate.

Can't wait for it. Really nice and excellent initiative.

Thanks John

I don't think there is a specific list of one or the other unfortunately.

Any advance?

Thank you Rudy, for sharing your thoughts on this. I can inform that EASA is considering the research for ADS-B out on 1090 MHz using low to very low power to see whether the risk of potential oversaturation of 1090 MHz in Europe can be minimized to an acceptable level. If the results will be positive, such a solution could be a good alternative for certain categories of aircraft.

Thank you!!

Thanks John for helping us achieve over 500 responses covering nearly 800 aircraft from 20 countries already - see map attached.

The survey will run until the end of April and will give us all the crucial data to show the impact of the pandemic on GA flight activity as well as help inform and direct future GA regulation and policy.

Please help us by promoting, sharing and responding to this survey so we have a true representation of all sectors, countries and regions of European GA.
