Not necessarily; if people respond to this draft, then EASA have been
shown to listen. They listened over the Single Skies draft (which would
otherwise us having paying enroute charges, even for VFR without ever
contacting ATC once) and dropped those proposals, maintaining the status
quo (IFR airway charges for aircraft only >2 metric tonnes). EASA *do*
listen. *Please* write to them. I certainly will be. They are much
better at listening AND acting on what pilots tell them than our own CAA
(contrast the Single Skies consultation with the CAA's Mode-S
consultation).

This do***ent is just a draft, and EASA may well change it if you point
out the various unintended consequences.

I'm certainly going to write because I want to see the status quo of day
VFR privileges being allowed to ICAO PPL holders in G-reg aircraft - or
better still, any European member registration.
