The Regulation is clearly worded to avoid confusion about which organisation is operating the aircraft. The term 'damp lease' is a commercial arrangement that results in crew being 'shared' between the lessor and the lessee, but we all need to remain vigilant to identify whether the aircraft is being operated by the lessor (wet lease) or the lessee (dry lease). As explained in previous comments, if the 'non-operator' provides crews, then these must be legally 'absorbed' into the 'operator's' organisation, and operate to the 'operator's' policies, processes, and procedures.

Do we have to de-register the aircraft from the aircraft register book once the aircraft got crashed and is no more in service? -

Ladislav Choma • 3 years agoExcellent 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? -

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. -

Iry Razafintsalama • 3 years agoHi,
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 ? -

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 -

It`s about the operators responsibilies and it reffers to operators with aircraft other than complex motor-powered aircraft used for commercial specialised operations or for CAT operations other than those performed by air carriers licensed in
accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008, or by commercial ATOs and commercial DTOs referred to in Article 10a of Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011, the operator shall ensure that:... and so on.Could anybody please explain what kind of operation is commercial specialised or CAT other than those performed by air carriers???

Nina Bertilsson • 3 years agoThe definition for hazard is different in the regulations of ICAO and EASA... Do you know why EASA has choosen not to update to the newer shorter version? Is there a discussion at EASA regarding this? Kind regards.
ICAO: A condition or an object with the potential to cause or contribute to an aircraft incident or accident.
EASA: hazard’ means a situation or an object with the potential to cause death or injury to a person, damage to equipment or a structure, loss of material, or a reduction of ability to perform a prescribed function.
