From the other mag's website:
EASA rule would exclude hours flown in vintage aircraft & homebuilts
This has been hinted at on these forums before. Outrageous if correct.
There's no link to an EASA or other definitive statement; does anybody have further hard info on the proposal and/or its status?
EASA rule would exclude hours flown in vintage aircraft & homebuilts
Pilot wrote:In a new and unexpected initiative the European Aviation Safety Agency has drafted a new rule that would mean flight time on Annex II aircraft (essentially, but not exclusively ‘non-EASA’ out-of-production types with no continued manufacturer design support and homebuilts) will not be credited for the purpose of issue, revalidation or renewal of an EASA licence, rating or certificate
...
This means that neither any training using Annex II aircraft nor experience on Annex II aircraft would qualify towards biennial EASA licence revalidation. ‘The impact in many countries will be very harmful to our member organisations and to their individual members,’ said the European Federation of Light, Experimental & Vintage Aircraft (EFLEVA) VP, Consultation James Tannock in a statement issued on 17 February. ‘Many people have converted to EASA licenses recently, but fly mostly in Annex II aircraft. It may be difficult or impossible for them to revert to a national licence.’
