The problem

10/04/2014 2AERO 2014

Regulations designed for

CAT are disproportional

has been launched to

address the issue.

New approach to GA

AERO 201410/04/2014

Specific risk categories are associated with GA activities.

They should be known and accepted by the community

transport business training sport

New approach to GA

For the new approach, it is proposed to

focus first of the low end part of the GA

activities, where the impact of the actual

system seems to be the most detrimental

and impact the largest part of the GA

stakeholders

We propose to identify this part of the GA

activity as sport aviation, by opposition to

transport aviation.

The new approach will then be extended

every time it is possible to other GA

activities.
