Re: JAR Compliant PPL vs JAA PPL - Difference?
Exercising the privileges of a Non-UK
Licence in UK registered aircraft
Article 26, of the ANO 2005, states that a pilot must
hold an appropriate licence granted either by the CAA
or by a foreign authority and rendered valid under the
ANO to fly a UK registered aircraft.
A JAA licence is deemed to be a licence rendered valid
under the ANO unless the CAA in the particular case
gives direction to the contrary. A JAA licence is a
licence issued in accordance with licensing and
medical requirements of JAR-FCL by a full JAA
Member State that has been recommended for mutual
recognition by Central JAA (JAA Headquarters).
A licence issued by any other ICAO Contracting State
(including a JAA State that has not yet been
recommended for mutual recognition) is also deemed
to be valid under the ANO for the purposes of flying a
UK registered aircraft, providing that the licence and
medical are valid in accordance with the rules/laws of
the issuing State, and the CAA does not in the
particular case give direction to the contrary.
However, the ANO2005 Article 26 (4) (a) states that
the holder of such a licence cannot:
1) act as a member of the flight crew of any aircraft
flying for the purpose of public transport or aerial
work or on any flight in respect of which he
receives remuneration for his services as a
member of the flight crew; or
2) in the case of a pilot’s licence, to act as a pilot of
any aircraft flying in controlled airspace in
circumstances requiring compliance with the
Instrument Flight Rules or to give any instruction
in flying.
