You clearly do not understand the concept of an EASA aircraft - a PA28 is an EASA aircraft irrespective of where it is registered or who operates it, as is a B747 or a Lear 45.
Precisely! Under the currently proposed amendment to Article 61 of the ANO, a Delta pilot resident in the UK would need an EASA licence to fly a Delta 767 into Gatwick notwithstanding the fact that the aircraft operator is not 'established' in an EU member state. This restriction, of course, exceeds the EASA requirement and is entirely illegal but, based on past CAA performance, is also entirely predictable.
on that basis one assumes the whole world wide fleet of aircraft (other than annex 2) aircraft are now EASA aircraft and the UK ANO is trying to establish operating rules for those world wide if either the operator or pilot has a tie to the EU. (and the said delta pilot would need an EASA licence to fly into Atlanta as well!)(it is not I don't understand, it was my recollection the regulations FCL, OPS, MAN were structured to try to not claim control of the world wide aircraft inventory)
