Dunno. I'm far from expert on this. I was only repeating what I'd been
told.

As usual.

Well, it is something a lot of people are going to need to know about,
but how they're going to find out definitively, I have no idea. It
doesn't really matter to me since I have to have class ones no matter
what, but it's a bit surprising that the FAA hasn't made it clear..

Odd. Having no knowledge of something that doesn't pertain to you, has never
stopped you from commenting from a position of authority before.

Check with MX.

I'm not an expert on it, but I do have a furrin friend who is and I cut
and pasted exactly what he told me in my previous post. I looked at the
ICAO site, but I got bored wading throug the gobblydegook.


Bertie

Sure Buttlipp, that's what Mx always says.

The FAA are responsible for this. When they degraded the class three
below international standards. It was a tradeoff. I think it's mostly
the time thing, but I think they lowered standards in other areas as
well. Lower eyesight, maybe I don't know. This allows a lot more people
to fly in the US and all anyone who wants to fly abroad has to do is get
a class 2, so it seems like a good idea to me.
I got the info from a friend of mine who's an examiner in Europe. I put
it to him that it would be legal to fly a US reg airplane with a
standard private anywhere in the world, and he told me that while this
used to be the case, it is no longer..


Bertie

And you say a voice in your ear, that you call a friend, told you to say
this?

That's Anthony's line.
