For what it's worth , in laymans terms ( which is what I am regarding regulations ! ) I believe the following is correct .
Fairly soon ( not sure of date ) you will not be allowed to fly G reg on FAA ticket here . There is no plan to stop flying N reg on FAA ticket here but there may be plan to not allow N reg to stay here . I do not believe it would be possible to stop the flying of N reg with FAA ticket ...... To do that you would have to stop all US planes from landing here ..... And that is not going to happen .
What I would like to know is why ?? Are FAA pilots crashing more than CAA ones ? Or is it that the FAA system is so superior to ours in Europe , so much simpler to stay current and legal and so much cheaper , that it has to be stopped before all ppl,s realise they are being ripped off and conned , priced out of being able to fly in the UK . Just look at the ratings that you poor EASA guys have to pay for !!! Even having training to go from 206 to 206L ..... Every different variant needing expensive and unnecessary training and a lot of you are being trained by instructors with less than 5% of the hours on type that you may have ...it's ridiculous!!!
Rant over ...
