- But since it is my last “EAS up date briefing”, I would like to add something:

13

Did you ever asked yourself where Annex II e) is coming from ?

- End of the 80ties creation of EAS and EAS Microlight WP: FFPLUM, UK NAC/BMAA, DAéC, KNVVL, Microlight Lux ; later : Microlights from NACs : Italy, Spain, Portugal, Finland, Sweden, Norway.

- Together we decided to use FAI definition of Microlight.- First: end of the 90ties acceptance by JAA (DG: K. Koplin and

Regl Dir Y. Morier)- Second: in 2000 definition accepted and published officially by

Commission (Probst)- In 2002 publication of 1st BR (1592/2002) lost of definition but

replaced by Annex II e)- In 2003 EAS Microlight WP became EMF, request add

parachute case to definition- Published in 2008= 216/2008
