07/03/2025 (Agence Europe) – On Thursday, 6 March, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) published proposed environmental protection technical specifications for gyroplanes in order to consult with the stakeholders concerned. EASA is proposing these technical specifications in the absence of a European regulatory framework for gyroplanes’ noise certification. These specifications provide guidelines for gyroplane manufacturers that wish to determine the noise levels of their products in accordance with a standardised method developed by EASA. The current requirements are those contained in the Chicago Convention, as reflected in the EASA’s Basic Regulation, and do not include requirements for gyroplanes. The consultation is open until Friday, 11 April. For more information: https://aeur.eu/f/fsr (AD)
