FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, GERMANY, April 25, 2013 – Organisations representing a broad spectrum of the European general aviation (GA) community met at the AERO Friedrichshafen GA show.
The organisations agreed to collaborate more closely on regulatory and political issues affecting GA. In particular, the meeting focused on the European General Aviation Safety Strategy, and the groups’ expectations for the forthcoming GA Sub-Committee of the Safety Standards Consultative Committee (SSCC). The SSCC advises the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) on regulatory issues.
The groups committed to work closely together to use this opportunity to support and promote a sustainable environment for all GA stakeholders.
The following groups were present:
• ECOGAS (European Council of General Aviation Support)
• EAS (Europe Air Sports)
• IAOPA (International Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association)
• GAMA (General Aviation Manufacturers Association)
• LAMA Europe (Light Aircraft Manufacturers Association Europe)
• ASD/EGAMA (GA Membership of Aerospace Space & Defence Industries Association)
• ERAC (European Regional Aerodromes Community)
