EBAA: Revised EASA Basic Regulation Not Sufficiently Bizav-specific
New EASA Basic Regulation enters into force on September 11.

Almost four years after the European Commission proposed the legislative update of the EASA Basic Regulation and endless meetings between the European Parliament and EU member states to find a compromise, the new safety rules governing the bloc’s aviation industry went into effect on September 11. The revamped regulation formalizes EASA’s role in the domain of drones and gives the Cologne-based agency a coordinating role in cybersecurity in aviation; however, it fails to recognize the business aviation sector’s various operational models, according to the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA).
