I fully agree with Jean Claude opinion. Bevor you enter a plane and like to fly , you must have informations on operation limitations and functions. This nomally, do a insructor.

NPA 2020 / 14
Electric & Piston engine aircraft within SEP class rating
Why not? that is a good thing but with the philosophy to be better simpler, EASA is going wrong with the proposal for SEP revalidation
It is absolutely not necessary to request a minimum of flight hours on each propulsion.
Still acting as FI I have now some experience in basic training and I can assure you there are no difference between a piston or an electric aircraft, but the autonomy, but the problem is the same with low fuel on a piston aircraft
Only a ground technical refresher would be suitable and that is what most Flying clubs or school are doing.
So why making things more complicate ?

Air Ops News initiative is really appreciated . It is a very good idea to receive information outside the official channels!

BASA agreement entering into force June 20th 2021
Some countries have already postponed the introduction (for the last time) to June 20th 2022. I was wondering whether the consequences are clear to all N registered plane owners and pilots in the EU.
Questions remain for some owners:
- Is the maintenance of the N registered aircraft based in the EU governed by the FAA rules and regulations or by EASA rules?
- Is it permitted to fly an N registered aircraft based in the EU with a FAA certificate with a Class 3 medical and a LAPL (A) with a LAPL medical in the EU? I assume a Basic Med is not an option?
- Can you fly the N aircraft based in the EU to the UK with a LAPL medical?
- Are the same rules for maintenance and LAPL licence and medical applicable for G registered aircraft?
N-reg maintenance, for private i.e. Part 91 operations, remains to FAA standards i.e. Part 91.
Whether the LAPL meets FAR 61.3 has not been clarified explicitly by the FAA but reading the following it looks like it is acceptable
euroga. org/forums/hangar-talk/1211-lapl-uk-nppl-and-n-reg.
Regarding flying to the UK with an LAPL medical, do you mean with an FAA PPL, no FAA medical, and an EASA LAPL medical? I think probably not because you need the FAA license+medical to go outside the airspace of your license issuer (FAR 61.3).
Regarding the BASA, I don't think anything changes regarding N-reg aircraft whose operator is EU based.
Brussels introduced the requirement in 2011 for the pilots to have duplicate (EASA as well as FAA required by the US) licenses, but most countries derogated from this every year ever since.
Some did not, and I think those were mostly countries which don't read the thousands of pages of EASA regulations :)
The BASA treaty has been discussed on EuroGA extensively and it seems to provide some new routes for license conversion, but nothing really relevant. You still need the duplicated EASA papers (license and medical). More here:
euroga. org/forums/hangar-talk/3439-easa-faa-bilateral-pilot-licensing-treaty-basa/post/266374#266374
BasicMED is not applicable outside the US. See here
euroga. org/forums/hangar-talk/2107-basicmed-faa-private-pilot-medical-abolished-not-useful-outside-the-us
For UK pilots reading this, the UK CAA has for the past few years been derogating using Forms SRG2140 and SRG2142 and they have said in recent "brexit changes" videos that nothing is changing on N-reg policy.

Hi! I have been awaiting details of the BIR Syllabus and module content. I understood from the "Season Opener" it would be posted by now. Does anyone have any information? Perhaps I am looking in the wrong place?

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if someone knows what is the current status of American Champion aircraft in EASA, namely the Bellanca and Champion 8 (EASA.IM.A.297 and 298) - I cannot find their type certificate DS in the EASA list. I understand these were almost revoked in 2018, but American Champion paid the fees and resolved the issue.
On a related note, although it is relatively easy to find aircraft that are capable of delivering UPRT to ATPL students, it is not so easy to find one that at the same time can deliver the UPRT instructor course. There are amazing aircraft out there (unlimited category competition like the Extras, Zlin, etc.) but the tandem arrangement and the flying characteristics make it less than ideal for ATPL students. Does anyone have any suggestions on aerobatic aircraft that have good flying characteristics with side by side sitting?
Thank you all in advance!
Hi Daniel,
As you noticed already both TCs were not revoked at the end. As EASA does not publish TCs you can't find TC EASA.IM.A.298, However, as said the master document is the 'list of products'. It does list the 'Bellanca and Champion 8 series' and indicates the FAA TCDS A21CE to be used for registering and operating in an EASA Member State. We put a lot of effort in the 'EASA products list' to keep it correct and up-to-date.
Best regards,
Jannes

Hi John,
Firstly, great job in getting this community going. Great insights and an opportunity to collaborate.
We’ve been using the recommendations in GAPPRE Vol.1. Any idea when Vol.2 is due for release? We look forward to specific guidance on some of the recommendations in Vol.1.
