Air Operations

As the holiday season approaches, many passengers are travelling with children. Flying with children can be challenging for parents and also brings a new set of considerations for airlines ✈

If you are looking to provide useful information to your passengers, we created this EASA Light article with tips and things people should have in mind when flying with infants or older children, covering things like child restraining systems and seating options 💺

The material is available in all EU languages, feel free to link to the page or use the material for your own websites.

Following the recent volcanic eruption in Iceland, EASA has published an update to the Safety Information Bulletin on managing the risk of volcanic ash events.

Hello everybody.
in the "Table 1 — Aerodrome forecasts (TAFs) and landing forecasts (TRENDs) to be used for pre-flight planning" (AMC3 CAT.OP.MPA.182), it's not very clear to which airport are the mean wind and gust applicable.
I'm talking about the "TEMPO (alone), TEMPO FM, TEMPO FM… TL, PROB 30/40 (alone)" column as per picture attached.
Any clarification will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Giorgio.

Hi all,

Perhaps that someone can assist me on this.

Is there an EASA publication which explains Mandates and recommendations on Avionics Systems.

Are you a pilot from Europe? Then we want to hear from you!

Take part in our survey on pilot incapacitation, sleep inertia, fatigue and breaks due to physiological needs https://survey.nlr.nl/eMCO-SiPO/index.php/451259?lang=en

Your contribution is anonymous.

The survey is part of a #research study on eMCO-SiPO - Extended Minimum Crew Operations – Single Pilot Operations – Safety Risk Assessment Framework (https://www.easa.europa.eu/en/research-projects/emco-sipo-extended-mini… ), contracted out to a consortium led by the Royal Netherlands Aerospace Centre (NLR) (tag NLR(11) NLR - Netherlands Aerospace Centre: Overview | LinkedIn). The study considers several aspects regarding the safety (risks) and regulatory impacts of eMCO-SiPO.

Your input is important to #EASA and will directly impact the outcomes of the study.

Hi all

Perhaps someone can assist on this.

Does AMC3 ORO.MLR.100 mandate the operations manuals to explicitly follow this table of contents?

My understanding of the AMC requirement is for the items to be included in the OM but the actual manual structure (aside from OM-A, -B, etc) can be as per the operator requirements.

Appreciate additional clarity.

EASA monitoring situation regarding possible eruption of Icelandic volcano Fagradalsfjall, Nov.14 2023

https://www.easa.europa.eu/en/newsroom-and-events/news/easa-monitoring-…

EASA is monitoring the situation in Iceland regarding potential eruption of the Fagradalsfjall volcano. In the event of an eruption and development of an ash cloud, the Agency will work with other aviation actors to assess the impact for aviation and make recommendations accordingly.

The EASA webpage Volcanic Ash (https://www.easa.europa.eu/en/domains/safety-management/volcanic-ash) gives information on the 2010 eruption and actions subsequently taken. EASA will be updating this page as appropriate in the context of the current situation. Please see also SIB 2010-17R7 (https://ad.easa.europa.eu/ad/2010-17R7), last updated in 2015, containing relevant general information on this topic.
