The European
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has published a set of regulatory proposals, to
prevent accidents like the Germanwings flight 4U9525, in which the co-pilot,
who had a history of mental issues, took advantage of the temporary absence of
the pilot-in-command and committed suicide by crashing the aircraft. The
proposals concern medical requirements for pilots and the "2-persons-in-the-cockpit"
recommendation. Further recommendations are about to follow by the
end of the year.
