Hi Folks,
Thinking about buying an N reg taildragger here in the UK.Will I have to obtain an FAA ppl to fly such an A/C in JAA land?
If this is the case,do I have to go to the States to obtain an FAA licence?
Sorry if this 'old hat' but I'm fairly new to PPRUNE.
Happy flying

Being new, you may not yet know about the search function!
This (N-Reg) is a topic that comes up regularly in this forum, both in terms of ownership and flight crew licensing requirements.
Indeed, a lot of the information (at least about ownership) you need is covered in the thread started by Deegan (http://www.pprune.org/private-flying/372428-urgent-foreigner-owns-aircraft-but-faa-n-us-registered-through-american-citizen.html)
Regarding Search on PPRuNe, there's guidance here (http://www.pprune.org/computer-internet-issues-troubleshooting/295617-frequently-asked-questions.html) about using google to search PPRuNe.

Yes, see FAR 61.3. You need an FAA PPL. On a UK PPL you will be able to fly it within the UK only.
