EASA Releases Opinion on Commercial SET-IMC
The opinion establishes the regulatory framework, keeping the regulations on pace for issuance by fall next year.


The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) issued an opinion last month that establishes a regulatory framework to permit commercial single-engine turbine operations in instrument meteorological conditions (SET-IMC). Opinion 06/2015 marks one of the final steps required before commercial SET-IMC is authorized throughout the European Union. The opinion must next receive endorsement by the EASA Committee, which includes the European Commission and EU member states. Under the process, the EASA Committee likely will review the opinion at its next meeting, scheduled for February, and then formally vote on it at the following meeting.
