EASA seeks views on 2-people-in-the-cockpit policy
EASA has launched an online survey to assess the effectiveness of maintaining 2 people in the cockpit during flight, as recommended in the wake of the Germanwings tragedy. Just 3 days after the crash, March 27, 2015, EASA recommended that 2 crew members, including at least one qualified pilot, should occupy the cockpit during flight, or that the operator should implement “equivalent measures,” however this is not a requirement. This recommendation was based on the technical investigation performed by France’s Bureau d’Enquêtes et d’Analyses and was maintained by the July 2015 Germanwings Task Force report. EASA is now seeking feedback from “operators, pilots and cabin crew, authorities and other interested parties” to assess the effectiveness of the 2-person-in-the-cockpit recommendation. <br/>
