General Aviation is a priority for the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). In order to present and discuss new proposals with the Sport Aviation community, the Agency is organizing a dedicated workshop at the AeroExpo in Prague on 25 April 2008.
Under the title ‘EASA’s flight plan for Sport Aviation - Workshop on Initial Airworthiness’, the workshop will focus on the Agency’s forthcoming Notice of Proposed Amendment (NPA) to Part 21, proposing a simplified process for European Light Aircraft. The Agency wishes to generate an open and constructive dialogue with the Sport Aviation community and welcomes the participation of all stakeholders in the consultation process.
The proposals on initial airworthiness are an important step in the Agency’s overall strategy to revitalize General Aviation, through simplified certification procedures, adapted airworthiness rules and new pilot licenses.
The workshop is hosted by AeroExpo Prague 2008 in conjunction with the Light Aircraft Associations of the Czech Republic and the UK. Media representatives are invited to the press conference that will follow the technical session
on 25 April 2008 at 15.15 hrs in the‘EASA Seminar Room’, Pribram Airfield, Prague
Detailed information on the programme and registration can be found on the EASA Events page.
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) was set up by the EU in 2003 to promote the highest common standards of safety and environmental protection in civil aviation. Based in Cologne, the Agency currently employs some 350 experts and administrators from all over Europe.
