In summertime: Check the doors!!!

Dear Pilots,

Some accidents have happened this summer due to open canopies in flight and we would like to remind you, in these very hot days, to double check that the canopies and doors are properly latched and locked before take-off.

It is normal that you open the door or canopy on ground to get a bit of fresh air, especially in towing activities when waiting can lead to very high temperatures inside the cockpit. But remember to close, latch and lock the doors and canopies and double check they are properly closed just before the take-off.

Happy landings!!!

Hey All! Newbie here, kudos to EASA for starting this community to connect GA folks! Does anyone have any information about Part-DTO launch? I reckon the original date was 2018 April, and it got changed to July.

Another bug ?
It seems that there is no "bridge" between a TMG(A) and a TMG(S).
So an aircraft pilot with a TMG(A) flying a SF-25 in his motor club MUST follow a complete formation to get the TMG(S) if he want to fly the same SF-25 in his glider club ! Make it simplier they say.
Of course, the problem is the same if a glider pilot with a TMG(S) want to fly the same SF-25 in his motor club.
Nearly 20 years to get a new system, maybe 10 more to make it work.
Unbelievable that EASA experts have forgotten such "make it simple" points

I have a LAPL license and fly in Germany.
It is not possible to extend my licence for a water flight authorization.
This requires a PPL (a).

Question to EASA: from when there is a possible the LAPL license to extend a water flight authorization.
