Actually that is definitely not the case; for example you can fly an N-reg aircraft here in the UK (UK only) on a UK issued PPL. You can as far as the FAA is concerned, the relevent regulations is 14 CFR 61.3: "...(a) Pilot certificate. A person may not act as pilot in command or in any other capacity as a required pilot flight crewmember of a civil aircraft of U.S. registry, unless that person— (1) Has a valid pilot certificate or special purpose pilot authorization issued under this part in that person's physical possession or readily accessible in the aircraft when exercising the privileges of that pilot certificate or authorization. However, when the aircraft is operated within a foreign country, a current pilot license issued by the country in which the aircraft is operated may be used; and..." also fly a G-reg aircraft on an FAA PPL and, because the UK automatically validates ICAO PPLs when used on G-reg aircraft, you can fly that G-reg worldwide. are you sure about this? i.e., it is also my understanding that one can fly a G- registered aircraft in the UK (and Isle of Man and Channel Islands ;-) with an ICAO license other than a British/JAR one, but I thought it didn't extend to flying said G- registered aircraft elsewhere, e.g., picking up a G- registered aircraft in England and flying it to France say, on a US certificate (the rule of thumb I was told about was that, out of three countries, i.e., country of the pilot license/certificate, country of registration of the aircraft and country where one flies, two must be the same...); but then I might very well be wrong. --Sylvain |
