Description
In a Notice of Proposed Amendment (NPA), the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) said there should be no changes to current regulations on wind shear warning equipment and pilot training. Citing an economic versus safety-benefit assessment, the agency concluded “that no regulatory action is needed to require wind shear equipment on European-registered aircraft.” Present requirements are “expected to maintain the current level of safety,” the EASA said. The NPA is in response to an ICAO safety recommendation that all turbine airplanes in excess of 12,500 pounds mtow or authorized to carry more than nine passengers be equipped with a wind shear warning system. Comments on the NPA are due Feb. 15, 2017.
