EASA regulates the flight of aircraft within its jurisdiction. One of those regulations is that C500 series (excluding the single pilot certified versions) require the crew i.a.w. its TCDS. Are you suggesting that the number of crew required to be on board does not pertain to the flight of an aircraft? And is only to do with controlling/maneuvering the plane?
Because if so, then that would also mean that any EASA rule that doesn't specifically concern control/manoeuvering and is different from 14CFR may also be ignored. How about alternate requirements? Or fuel requirements? When going to Europe do you plan your fuel based on just FAA or just EASA rules? Or, more correctly, the most restrictive of the two?
What about M/MELs? Under Pt91 you can have an LOA authorising the use of the MMEL as the MEL. Not so under EASA. It must be an MEL for that airframe. Doesn't matter that the FAA authorised an MEL. For use in EASA-land it must be an MEL, not an MMEL.
These sorts of situations are exactly what "...relating to the flight..." addresses.
