Crew on "N-" aircraft with JAA licence ?!
And now for something completely different...
Let's suppose for a minute that a single-pilot turboprop aicraft, registered "N-", is based in Europe for private/fractional ops. Strange idea in my opinion, but let's talk only about the flight crew. The PIC must hold a valid FAA medical certificate and FAA licence and must also remain current.
What if in the RH seat we find a pilot who does not have an FAA CPL, but only a JAA CPL ? Can he be SIC ? Can he be considered as "safety pilot" (the guy has never flown this type of aircraft before) ? Can he log time ?
I would say "no" to all three questions and advise the guy to quickly get an FAA licence (which is exactly what I did), but I might have overlooked something here.
Any info or reference to regulations welcome, thanks in advance !
