Ah, so that is why, for example, an N-reg aircraft can be flown in France by a French pilot, (but that pilot is not allowed to fly that N-reg aircraft outside France). It is because the FAA have decided thus, correct?
On that basis, it would mean that the CAA has the right to limit where a G-reg aircraft can fly and could, for example, like the FAA, say a G-reg aircraft can be flown by a UK licence holder or, in this case, in France if flown by a holder of a French licence. In my case, this would mean I could ONLY fly my plane in France.
Perhaps, in this current situation, the CAA can say that a G-reg aircraft can be flown by any IASA-licence-holder in any IASA country, but I can't find any such statement.
