FAA PPL Across the FIR
I got a completely useless response from the CAA today when I enquired about using my FAA PPL to pilot a G-reg aircraft into Europe. (I already knew I am limited to day VFR while in the UK)
The lady at the CAA advised that I would need to contact the airspace authority to check whether they would accept the situation.
Article 26 4(a) of the ANO indicates that an ICAO licence is valid as the UK is a contracting authority. When I fly across the FIR on my CAA PPL I don't ask permission, other than filing the customary flight plan. So why do I have to do any different on my FAA PPL.
To add to the confusion the rental company were told by the CAA that it was "not allowed".
Anyone have any more guidance or experience in this area ?
