At a recent meeting at EASA, the European Cockpit Association (ECA) highlighted many issues with the standardization and compliance of the EASA FTL.
ALPL was represented by George Karambilas and one of the issues brought up was Back to Back operations where clarification was sought and provided.
Please find attached a letter that was delivered to the Chief Pilots Office on the 4 April 2017.
Our position has always been that these ‘Back to Backs’ must be planned and managed in advance to mitigate potential fatigue. We are also in touch with the Luxembourgish Civil Aviation Authority (DAC) to ensure that the rule is correctly applied.
