Another Jaa/Faa licence question!

[ock1f]

Hi All,
its a quick question this time i hope!

Am i correct in thinking that in order to fly an N-REG aircraft legally with a foreign licence(non faa) that this can only be done in the country of issue of the foreign licence?
i.e. a uk issued JAA ppl licence used to fly an N-REG means that the N-REG can only be flown within the airspace of the uk?

if that is the case ???? i take it that each country that issues JAA ppls means that N-REG can only be flown within the country that issues the jaa ppl?

Does it then follow than cross border touring is not legal?

Thanks in Advance

You are absolutely correct!

You can fly an 'N' reg aircraft within the UK on your UK licence.

You can easily get an FAA PPL issued on the basis of your UK PPL just by filling in some paperwork. Details of how to do this are covered extensively elsewhere on this forum.

Once you have your FAA PPL, you can fly wherever you want to in your 'N' registered aeroplane :D
