not a black art !
The more I have to do with the joke that is JAA flight crew licencing the more I think that keeping the aircraft on the american register is a good idea.
How ever putting an aircraft on the UK register should not cost a lot more than the CAA fees and an annual check.
But you must do your homework , the aircraft must be standard and without a lot of these Mods that you see in the USA , you should make shure that the things required in the UK are done such as aditional CAA AD,s , low volts and starter warning lights and the radio fit is up to european standards , the most important thing is to get all the paperwork to back this up.
If you get all this done in the USA it will cost you half as much as it will this side of the atlantic , I think that this way you can save about 20% on the cost of an aircraft and the aircraft will be in better condition than the average UK example and so will continue to save you money in the long run.
