They should be checking these aircraft comply with ICAO minimum standards, otherwise they are not doing their duty.
Before you ask, yep we in Europe do that... We created SAFA for just that reason.
Do not start Trolling please, stay on subject. TC will ask to see a foreign carrier's pilot licence and make sure the pilot is rated and current
on paper. It does not check if he is really qualified.
TC will ask to see the foreign carrier's aircraft documentation and make sure it is compliant. It will not check to see if the foreign aircraft has the wrong engines or has been repaired by non-licensed mechanics with bogus parts from China........ Of course if something is obvious like a leak or a bald tire, they can and will intervene.......
But you know all that. That last comment was nothing but trolling to send the thread on a tangent.
Stick to subject at hand please or I will no longer reply........
