So how is this enforced? How can / does the FAA enforce its rules in N-reg aircraft when you are in the UK?
The two times I can think of that this is going to come to a head is if:
1. You have an accident and the insurance company refuses to pay out. Therefore you eventually end up in court (lets say in the UK). Would that mean that a UK court would then have to create its own interpretation of the FARs?
2. You are ramp checked, or the CAA decide to prosecute you for lying without an appropriate licence. Again - this would presumably end up in a UK court?
Would the FAA prosecute you in the US for flying N-Reg in the UK (with a questionable licence)?
