In 2014, a small plane with parachutists on board crashed to the ground in Jämijärvi, Finland, eight people died.

In 2019, eight skydivers and a pilot died in a plane crash in Umeå.

After the accidents, the National Accident Commission and the Finnish Accident Investigation Center told the EU's aviation safety authority, EASA, that they wanted to see targeted formal training for pilots.

But to no avail.

In 2021, another plane crash occurred in Örebro.

A small plane crashed at the airport and nine people lost their lives.

"Safety-enhancing measure"

The accident commission stated again in its investigation that they want to see a training that gives a special authorization to pilots to fly skydivers.

- It's done.

In the investigation into the Örebro accident, we have a recommendation to change the requirements.

Which means that we see that formal training could be a safety-enhancing measure, says Mats Trense.

The authority: It's going too slowly

The authority questions whether the pilots currently have the competence to carry out the correct risk assessments.

The National Accident Commission believes that work on tightening the rules is going too slowly and asked for a meeting in December 2022 to speed up the process.

SVT Nyheter Västerbotten has been in contact with EASA, which does not want to appear for an interview.

- We have no comments at this stage, writes communications manager Janet Northcote in an email to SVT.
