Rick1128 and Panama Jack
Thanks for the help in explaining the applicable rules.
Has sugested by Check6 a couple weeks ago I called
the FSDO of New York, spoke to an Inspector and
was told that I can fly the a/c with my UK PPL
as long as it is within the UK airspace. To go outside
UK I would need an American Certificate.
Rick1128, you are correct in your description of the
applicable regulation. However the a/c is not in the UK.
Panama Jack, thanks for the "tips". The problem is
that it is not easy to go to the US under the current
climate. I have been studing in the UK but I'm not
a UK citizen (which would make things easier if you
need to go to US). Just to emphasize my point,
in Jan 2000, way before Sep 11, I did try to go to US
to do the PPL and I was told to "get lost" by the
American embassy in my country because I had not
strong enough ties to my country.
Any how, thanks guys for trying to help.
