Flying a Permit Aircraft on FAA Licence
I have someone wanting to buy a share in Permit Aircraft who has a FAA ppl. Although I understand from a CAA examiner that he can fly a Part 21 aircraft from any ICAO country, it seems impossible to get an answer from anyone for a LAA Permit aircraft. Several days of e mails and phone calls to the LAA and CAA have so far resulted in contradictory information followed by a confession that they don't know. I know that it used to be possible because we used to have a shareholder with a FAA licence and I have copies of letters from both parties confirming it. However, since our excursion into the EASA world, no-one seems to know anything. Personally, I can't see how arrangements under EASA can have any influence on the relationship between the FAA and the CAA which doesn't involve any kind of EASA rules.
I wondered if anybody here can help.
