For example, EASA cooperates with most of the EU's Eastern Partnership member states through EASA's Pan-European Partners (PANEP) initiative in which countries such as Armenia, [20] Azerbaijan, [21] Georgia, [22] Moldova [23] and Ukraine [24] co-operate on the implementation of EU aviation safety rules and comprehensive aviation agreements.
An Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) allows a pilot to fly as pilot-in-command of multi-pilot aircraft in commercial air transport operations. It requires fourteen theoretical exams with a mandatory ground-school course. EASA also issues the Multi-crew Pilot Licence (MPL). This allows a pilot to fly as co-pilot in a multi-crew aircraft.

Member states are allowed to modify the low flying rule to suit their jurisdiction, for instance in the UK, the "500 ft Rule" allows pilots to fly below 500 ft as long as they are no closer than 500 ft to any person, vessel, vehicle, building or structure. The rules for flying near congested areas are the same in the UK as the rest of the EU [12]
