Enaire, the manager of Air Navigation in Spain, facilitates the application for the flight plan request throught Internet. Since this time, airlines and individuals can submit their requests through the web site of Enaire without having to go in person to airports.

Through the ICARUS application users can create applications for flight plan and associated messages, consult at any time the status of their requests and access the appropriate notifications and aeronautical information: meteorology, important notices, pre-flight information bulletins , etc. This system integrates all the operational information necessary for aeronautical user who will start a flight from the Spanish airspace.

 

Last November 12th there took place the meeting of the Board of directors of AOPA-Spain. One of the points treated in the meeting and the most important were the regulations problems:

1. With AENA:

• Passengers’ fee: suppressed
• Fees: improvement of amounts and reduction of minimums. Now-1,9 % in 2016 (but thanks to CNMC).
• Parking fee: extension at 3 hours Incentives to the GA (General Aviation) equivalents to those of CAT for increase of activity (ej.:-75 % you appraise in the first year). To take as reference year 2014. Earring of obtaining.
• Airports Operations Hours: Burgos, Vitoria, Logroño, Cordoba, Son Bonet.
• Problem of dragging placard (and other air works-ej. Fishing vigilance-) in Valencia.
• Handling: One battles it to border to 9 € in the next guide

2. With AESA:

• RD Publication commercial airports opened in limited periods. Obtained.
• RD Publication of restricted airports. It seems to be imminent. There has got lost the opportunity to apply European regulation for airports with a minimal traffic that they can avoid be certificates.
• It is necessary to manage to re-introduce in the restricted airports of general use the tourist flights, air works and maintenance of planes (disp. Trans.). Not even passengers transport or airtaxi will be able.
• To correct restricted airports like operationalsite for punctual landings of tourist flights.
• To obtain FastTrack of conversion of private airports to general use.
•  Decentralization of examinations.
• Bank of questions of the PPL.
• SPOs of cías of Air Works. Seminars in Madrid, Sabadell and Seville. To spread it. A FAQ will be done in AESA’s web site
• Repeat Model with NCC.

3. With ENAIRE:

• Night VFR. Problems of application
• Plan of flight for Internet. Keys of application are absent.
• Plan of flight abridged in flight. It is possible with exception authorized by DGAC’s Dir Gral. The same for local flights.
• TMA of Madrid: to open VFR corridors. It would not solve the ULMs flights because they are E spaces (and they only can flight in F and G).

The Aerodrome of Mutxamel performs first JET A-1 refuelling  to an airplane, model Cessna Citation. The second refuelling in the aerodrome facilities, the first was performed to a Bell 206 Jet Ranger helicopter.

One year more, the Rally Touluse-Saint Louis du Senegal visit us again.
