UK/US mashup ?

[Genghis the Engineer]

Does anybody know the position if a UK EASA qualified instructor with a valid 61.75 and BFR was asked to instruct an EASA licenced pilot on an N reg aeroplane in the UK ?

If I remember correctly you would need the permission of the Secretary of State for Transport (via DofT) to train in an N-Reg in UK airspace (though could always go abroad).

NB: Just in case you were considering it: I cannot see any way solo flight could legally be authorised.

[Genghis the Engineer]

Thanks for that pointer - I am considering it, but it would be differences training or equivalentish, not ab-initio, so the solo question's not there

Genghis,

The permission is now done through the CAA and, guess what, you have to pay for it.

you would need the permission of the Secretary of State for Transport (via DofT) to train in an N-Reg in UK airspace Since 6 April 2014 this function has been transferred (http://www.caa.co.uk/default.aspx?catid=148&pagetype=90&pageid=13220)to the CAA from the DofT

I don't even think you'd need to be a FAA CFI either, if it's not used towards any FAA certificate/rating.

You may conduct training in a N-registered aircraft with your EASA licence within your EASA privileges, since your licence is rendered valid in UK airspace by ANO Article 61. From the FAA regulations, 14 CFR 61.3 validates your UK licence for use in UK airspace.

However, ANO Article 225 also restricts aerial work and therefore remunerated flight training or testing without the appropriate exemption. The owner of the aircraft must apply to the CAA on the form below to obtain an exemption to allow remunerated instruction.

You should familiarise yourself with FAA aircraft documentation and regulations (particularly 14 CFR 91) since they differ from CAA and EASA. In acting as PIC you will be responsible for ensuring compliance with FAA, EASA and CAA regulations.

Thanks everyone, especially Ifitaint for such thorough chapter and verse.

FWIW, training done by an ICAO compliant instructor like EASA, can count towards the training requirements of an FAA pilot certificate even if done in a non US aircraft. However the sign off to take a check ride needs to be carried out by an FAA certified instructor along with at least 3 hours of training.

Instrument training for an IMC rating only counts towards the instrument training requirement if the instructor is an IR instructor as that is ICAO compliant.

So, can an NPPL ssea fly an n-reg in uk or do they need an icao licence - ie ppl a, jar sep or easa sep?

[ifitaintboeing]

Sounds like a question which is frequently asked (http://www.nationalprivatepilotslicence.co.uk/faq.php).

Thanks, ifitaint.

(But their para on microlights and conversions for SEP holders doesn't seem up to date!)
