NEW GUIDE

FSTD Capability Signature (FCS): a task-to-tool guide for helicopter training

How EASA Regulation (EU) 2026/781 changes what your FSTD can do — and what to do before 2028.

We've translated the complex CS-FSTD Issue 1 into a practical guide so ATOs, DTOs, and operators can secure their FSTD re-qualification, maximize their training hours, and turn this regulatory shift into a strategic advantage.  
 
The rules are changing. Don't wait until 2028 to find out how Regulation (EU) 2026/781 impacts your operations.
