Shame really, that we have to re-register our aeroplane to a foreign registry just so we can fly IFR. We'd be more than happy to leave it on the G reg but when all is said and done, to convert me to the JAA IR and for him to get the JAA IR would pay for a G500 installation.....rather than simply a G430.
Excellent post which highlights the issue quite clearly
At the moment FAA IR Holder can fly airways in Europe faster and easier and for less cost so why can't EASA wake up and see that it is already happening and the only people who are being disadvantaged are pilots who wish to stay on a Euro register and licensing system.
Surely it is a no brainer to create a cut and paste Euro version of FAA IR
Better for Europe and better for European pilots
A group of schoolkids could figure this out in a few minutes so why the big debate in EASA committees ?
