new Eurocontrol flight safety rules - this will affect you!

[Gregory Hood]

Hi everyone, please see details on this which will affect you.
"Europe Air Sports, which the European Commission and Eurocontrol agree represents the views of its members including all 30,000+ European microlight and paramotor pilots, was specifically excluded from the informal consultation prior to this formal one. These SERA proposals focus exclusively on the needs of Commercial Air Transport and do not address the needs of microlighting, paramotoring and many other sport aviation stakeholders. Unless they are changed, the safety, operational and economic impact associated with these inappropriate Standardised European Rules of the Air is likely to be significantly damaging to all sport aviation in Europe; including microlighting and paramotoring."

For a summary of what they propose see here:

For example, note 3.3.1.2 would mean that you would need to file a FLIGHT PLAN to fly from Söderslätt to sturup or vice versa.

I think it's called hyperlexia, and the EU should receive urgent treatment for this illness..
