Following completion of the HETA TF work aimed at creating a Regulatory Impact Assessment for the introduction of a harmonized transition altitude for Europe, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has published an Advance Notice of Proposed Amendment (A-NPA 2012-01) Harmonised Transition Altitude, which is now open for comments.
You will find this A-NPA on the EASA web-site here.
The deadline for submitting comments is 29 May 2012. The most convenient way of submitting comments is to use the EASA Comment Response Tool (CRT) available at here.
EASA is also asking stakeholders concerned to fill in and submit electronically the questionnaire found on page 8 of the A-NPA.
The problems, including safety concerns, with widely differing transition altitudes in Europe concern every member of the flying community. I would therefore advise you to give due consideration to submitting comments on this subject to EASA and also filling in the questionnaire before the deadline of 29 May 2012.
Your opinion counts!
