Requiring an ATSEP to install a flight procedure design software... Well done EASA, what a brilliant demonstration of having no clue. Pity no FPDSP ever told you that it is nonsense. Oh, wait!...

Successful completion of our first Advanced Flight Validation Pilot course. For that one, trained FVPs receive a procedure report at home, which they have to perform the Flight OPS review on and perform the pre- Flight Validation, preparing a program they want to do. Then they come to the SIM Center in Frankfurt, discuss their outcomes with the instructors and finally go to the Simulator to perform the Flight Validation. 3 days on site, very demanding program.

People who write emails to the institute, would you please refrain from just taking old emails with some subject line from 2 years ago and hit "reply" and write about something completely different? We are an advanced company with BI algorithms taking care of things. So reply to an email that has a subject line "SBAS exercise" because that was the topic 2 years ago but now you have a question about the advanced PBN course, it is not parsed to the right folder. It is not so difficult to hit the "new email" button and write a new subject line, one would assume. Thanks.
