The difficulty i'm having with this is that the pilot and the aircraft are based wholly outside of the EU. He is not wishing to base the aircraft within an EU country but only to visit or transit. Is it the case that any aircraft and pilot that are based and licenced outside of the EU, in whatever country that may be, must apply for and obtain a 28 day validation before they may enter EU airspace. Are they then restricted to entering on no more than 28 days in the following 12 months?
Is the UK unique in all this? Is the UK approval/acceptance then also valid throughout the whole EU and how can this be shown? If not, the pilot states that he also flies to France and Spain, is the process required to be repeated for each EU country he wishes to visit/transit?
The above makes no sense and also flies in the face of ICAO. If things make no sense they are most likely not true.
