> New rules for foreign pilots and foreign registered aircraft in Europe came into effect on Saturday and, depending on how member states of the European Union are implementing them, could mean that your FAA, Transport Canada or other pilot certificate or ratings are no longer recognized by the European Aviation Safety Agency. EASA Part FCL (http://www.easa.europa.eu/rulemaking/docs/npa/2008/NPA%202008-17b.pdf) homogenizes crew licensing requirements in all EU states and essentially means that those who want to fly in the EU have to prove competence and compliance with EU rules, rather than just use the credentials of their home country. Depending on the kind of flying involved, it can be a time-consuming and costly endeavor to earn those flight privileges, particularly for IFR.

As comfortable as the C-162 is, I don’t know that I’d want to ferry one to Europe…

The Ice Age has returned to Lake Tahoe. Rain this afternoon, snow this evening, and then snow for the next four days. Possible wind gusts this afternoon of 40 mph! That happens over the passes a lot, but not at lake level, where I am. If that materializes, we’ll probably have hurricane force winds over the passes.

 

So, there’s not going to be a lot of flying the rest of this week, but if someone wants to stop by FSA, I’d be happy to meet you there and show you our new baby! We’ll just be limited to tied down ground ops!
