Experimental catagory
Hiya,
Since I have been building Kitcars and am a pilot for a living, somebody asked me why I dont build an airplane...hmm good question? why not..
Soooo.. Since I have SE priviledges on my FAA ticket, I was wondering what the rules are regarding an N-reg experimental catagory aircraft based here in the UK? May I?
The way I read the rules, I am allowed to use my FAA CPL with PPL limitations and fly both N and G reg single engine aircraft here in the UK. Thats sounds good as I dont have to spend alot to get the SE endorsement on my JAA ATPL
Also, what have peoples experiences been with importing 2nd hand Kitplanes to the UK and getting them G-reg'ed under the PFA scheme? Looking at the somewhat difficult PFA website it seems there are some pitfalls but with a thorough inspection by a PFA engineer to clear the aircraft to UK standards.
I am looking at the Midget Mustang single seat taildragger to either build or buy in the US and ship over.
Comments appreciated!
