FLYING A UK REGISTERED AIRCRAFT WITH AN FAA LICENCE
Article 21 of the Air Navigation Order 2000 provides, in essence, that in order to fly a UK registered aircraft one must hold an appropriate licence either granted by the CAA or granted by a foreign authority and validated under the ANO.
Any licence granted by a State which is a member of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (which is to say just about every State in the world including the United States) is automatically deemed to be valid under the ANO for the purposes of flying a UK registered aircraft subject to the following restrictions.
The holder of a foreign licence is not automatically entitled to:
• fly for the purpose of public tranSfJQft
• fly for the purpose of aerial work
• receive remuneration for services as a pilot
• fly in controlled airspace in circumstances requiring compliance with the Instrument
Flight Rules or
• give any instruction in flying.
To do any of these things, an express written validation of the foreign licence from the CAA is required.
there is also a other point to take into account
a faa licenced pilot with a faa current medical is not allowed to fly in uk airspace if he is not able to pass a jar/uk medical
thats a new one
