Would I be correct in assuming that it would be similar to the reciprocal and a CASA LAME would be required in the US? Could the aircraft be shipped there from here and operated or could a US rego be transferred to Aus or would it have to be in Aus to be registered in the first place?
If you haven't joined the dots yet I'm thinking of the potential of an aircraft "on-line" or a syndicate to use the aircraft with an Aus CPL to avoid requiring an FAA licence. The market for this could be fairly large.
Where would you base such an aircraft, California perhaps? Fly over on QF or whatever and fly away in this GA aircraft, or base on the east coast and fly it to the Bahamas etc.
question is why would you bother? If it’s just for private flying you can have your Aussie license validated to an FAA private based on your foreign license simply by a short paperwork exercise.
looks like you’re making a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.
i couldn’t think of a worse idea than what you propose.
