From 12 until 15 February 2018 this workshop was organized in Moscow, Russia.
It addressed:

• an update on the EU/EASA regulations;
• details on the OTARs as issued by Bermuda CAA and applicable to Bermuda registered aircraft operated in Russia;
• the principles of ICAO 83bis arrangements, the coordination of responsibilities between the State of Operator and State of Registry.

The workshop was organised within the DASR (Dutch Aviation Solutions Russia) framework. It was also the start of a successful cooperation between Moscow based Training Center “Aviator” and Ciconia Aviation.

Mr. Tom Llewellyn, former Chief Operating Officer of ASSI (the organisation responsible for developing, publishing and maintaining the OTARs) and business partner of Ciconia Aviation, closely worked together with Aviator instructors to make this workshop a success. Attendees from various Russian airlines appreciated the extensive knowledge shared with them about the background of OTAR regulations and the issues related to an effective implementation, particularly in the environment of ICAO Article 83bis.

Further training courses, offered under the Aviator/DASR/Ciconia Aviation cooperation, are scheduled for 2018.
