And of course, don't forget the medical imposition that EASA intends to put forward in the medical NPA, that pilots of any foreign registered aircraft based in an EASA member state must hold an EASA medical certificate.
I've yet to be convinced on the feasibility of this.
Who is going to police the 'home base' of the foreign registered aircraft? It would be too easy to say that it is 'based' in the US/Canada/Bermuda and operated part of the year only in an EASA member state and the remainder of the year outside of EASA member states. Just take the aircraft to the IOM for a few weeks.
It would be impossible to require every pilot of every foreign registered aircraft OPERATED in EASA member states to hold EASA medical certificates as that would require the crew of every scheduled international flight from outside EASA to hold EASA medicals.
Wonderful, this regulation, hey???
