Planning a trip

If you are not a US citizen you should check into some sort of corporation
or holding as you are not allowed to own a N-reg airplane not being a US
citizen. (disregard when a US citizen)

When I bought mine I got a copy of an FAA memo in the package from
Cessna which said in part that Corporations or LLCs formed/controlled
by non-US Citizens are also prohibited from owning aircraft, so this
wouldn't work.

I don't know about owning as I just got my PPL (on 12/17/03 ).
In the middle of my license I lived in Germany for 3 years. Basically
(if I had finished my license by then) I read it would take about
10-12 hours to get my German-JAA license. That would entitle me to
be PIC of a European (D-licensed (German)? not sure about other EU
countries) plane but otherwise I would only be able to fly US registered
planes. So *if* you are allowed to own a US registered plane,
you might not even be allowed to fly it!


Now having said that, I could swear I read that there are places
in the EU that you can rent N-registered planes....at US military
bases? maybe there is some planes that live in the US that
are registered to your country. Just a thought.

it all depends on the certificate.
US certificate and N-reg plane; certificate and aircraft registration has
to meet.

there are some places to rent them.
for Germany see: http://www.airnav.de/N-reg.html

bases? maybe there is some planes that live in the US that

this would make no sense (because of requirements for maintainance etc.)
