Some interesting info in light of current threads on this forum (Denmark ban already quoted by Peter):
IAOPA Europe Jul21 enews
Yes another example of a country (my own in this case) doing it’s own thing. Happy if the EU commission can apply pressure to change this.
That’s a good newsletter. I get this too; usually has a few bits well worth reading.
Funny thing this rescue and firefighting service.
The new rule:
Aerodromes only obliged to provide services in case of commercial aviation activity
With the old rule:
Many states already deviated from that standard for decades, a simple information-letter to ICAO is sufficient for that purpose, but others (like Germany) tended to strictly implement ICAO 1:1.
With the new rule:
Only Ireland reiterated in their comment that States should retain their right to add to the requirements when certain activities occur at a GA airfield – e.g parachute jumping. In any case all States have the right to add to requirements.
So what has changed?
