Description
The highly successful EASA ETSO workshop is back for the 8th time. It will be held on 27 & 28 June 2012 at the Köln Marriott Hotel, Johannisstraße 76-80 in Cologne. The workshop is scheduled for two full days; a detailed agenda will be provided closer to date.
Since it first occurrence in 2004, this event has grown in popularity and attendance. It has become a regular forum for the worldwide community of ETSO/TSO manufacturers, installers and operators, where topics of common interest in the various fields of aviation equipment are presented and discussed, aiming at updating participants, and getting their feedback on industry and authority initiatives concerning operational, design, manufacturing and regulatory matters with the common scope of fostering safety. Beside EASA and the FAA, also TCCA, CAAC and ANAC will be present.
According to the feedback from the last ETSO workshop, we kept the organisation in a general part, covering topics of interest for all participants, like updates from Rulemaking, ADOA, foreign authorities; and two split sessions with in depth discussions for the areas avionics as well as seats/mechanical systems. Copies of all presentations held as well as additional background material will be made available on the EASA website for download after the workshop; considering the environmental impact we have decided not to print any hand-outs this year.

As to better prepare the workshop, we would like to get your questions, views and proposals in advance. Also if there are topics that you, industry would like to present.
