FRMS - Proposed new ICAO standards and Guidance. Layout of the new regulations as viewed by ICAO. Speaker:Michelle Millar ICAO

 All you wanted to know about FRMS but daren't ask. A Question and Answer session. We would like you to submit questions about FRMS for the audience to debate. Ideally these are concerns you have about the appropriateness of FRMS to your organisation or plain 'how do I...' questions to get started with FRMS. One could be "Will the introduction of FRMS spell the death knell of Flight Times Limitations as we know it?" Please send your questions to Douglas Mellor or use the Contact Form. We will accept anonymous questions too but would prefer to be able to attribute the question to you. Please don't be shy! Chair:David Learmount, Editor, Flight International
