FAA regulations for jumpseating on N-registered aircrafts
Hello,
Can anyone provide me (or point me in the right direction) with the FAA regulations for jumpseating on N-registered aircraft?
Note:
- Jumpseater has no American passport
- Jumpseater has a JAR license
- Jumpseater uses the jumpseat for commuting to/from work
- Sectors to jumpseat on are in Europe thus outside of US territory
The interesting thing is that US company A allows you to jumpseat and declares that you are authorised by the authorities to jumpseat on their aircraft while US company B requests a written approval by the FAA. How and where to obtain this approval?
Please enlighten me, many thanks!

I'm not going to explain why, due to the security implications and this being a public forum but given the information in your post. No you would not be able to jumpseat.

Normally it is not a problem to jump seat since usually it's on company aircraft or other (european) carriers flying the network. Occasionally however, it is one of the US operators that flies my commuting sector.
I understand City Flyer, that jump seating is a company-to-company agreement and again, normally there isn't any problem commuting unless it is an US operator. "It is due to FAA regulations" explained the Captain. Therefore I am interested in what these regulations are and where I can find them and how I can find out if and how I can obtain permission by the FAA to jump seat on N-registered aircraft.
Kenny, see pm

Thanks for the advice and I have found the 121.547, which is sometimes quite open for "own interpretation". It's just a shame that someone (authority, company, management etc) needs to be difficult and come up with bureaucratic regulations regarding jumps seat policies...
