N reg in UK airspace
During my enquiries regarding licence privileges yesterday I contacted the head of the DGAC licencing department in Paris and after explaining the situation and giving them details of my licence they sent me the following reply. (I have deleted the name of the sender to avoid the receiving spam)
"Dear xxxxx
I confirm you that the French CAA recognize your British JAR FCL PPL(A) for flying on the French territory with a N- registered aircraft.
Best regards,
xxxxx xxxxxx
Licensing Office of the French CAA"
Ps I was impressed by the fact that having given them the information in French they gave me the reply in English. I don't think the CAA would be so obliging.
