Plenty of time to come up with agreements to ensure cross border compatibility. The FAA don't seem concerned that British aircraft will fall out of the sky the day the UK leaves the EU. Just more political posturing and the chance for extensive and expensive executive negotiations in warmer climes I suspect.
Actually, FAA official have already remarked that they would not recognize the CAA as a competent authority after a no-deal brexit until a new agreement has been negotiated. They already move ahead in making sure that they themselves can oversee current MRO organisations in the UK as the CAA would not be competent post brexit, in fact making plans for a no-deal scenario although of course everything depends how the UK-EU negotiations will continue and turn out.
