Can you navigate through the FAR's and come up with an answer?
You have a Foreign CPL ME CIR-ME and are CFI for good measure. You have a US PRIVATE PILOT (Foreign Based) Certificate issued on the basis of the Foreign licence.
Does the FAA permit you to operate any (Nxxxx or Foreign) aircraft in US jurisdiction for "hire or reward" or "compensation" if it is a PRIVATE and not a COMMERCIAL certificate. The flight is ferrying an aircraft both within the US and from the US to the Foreign destination, and relevant excerpts from the US FAR are below.
FAR 61.113 and 131 make no distinction between US and Foreign registered aircraft.
What's your interpretation?
