JAR OPS 1 Subpart Q is still left to the National Authorities to play with, hence the "Catch as U can" Circus. In Italy it took a legal action to force the CAA to enforce their own rules on airlines and it is still not working. European Disunion and that....
From today's atwonline:
"European Council last week formally closed the first reading on the new EU-OPS Regulation, which seeks to integrate technical requirements and administrative procedures in the field of civil aviation. EU-OPS includes harmonizing flight time limitations across Europe, setting a minimum FTL level directly applicable to all EU countries. The European Cockpit Assn., representing 34,000 pilots, is calling for safety improvements and swift revision of the text while recognizing EU-OPS as "a first step towards a safety-based level playing field in Europe." ECA argues that safety risks caused by pilot fatigue are not addressed sufficiently in the Council's Common Position. The second reading will start later this month when the European Parliament examines the proposed legislation. The EP has a maximum of 3-4 months to conclude the second reading."

Whatever....
New FAA Flight Time and Duty Time rules expected to be published some time this summer.
According to my source at FAA the FAR revision will include a "flow chart" so as to eliminate any confusion. Also, the FAA will begin hardcore enforcement of flight/duty time limitations. Finally, thank God.
Hopefully this will eliminate the dreaded "delay due to unforseen circumstances", "freight delay", "passenger delay", "wx delay", "mx delay" clause so often pushed upon us by management.

Do the IAA do check rides, in which case have they not noticed that preparing for 4 sectors in 10 minutes ( 25 mins at the aircraft + 10 minutes for security and walking to the aircraft) is clearly unreasonable?
Or do they operate on the "3 monkeys" philosophy?
