Hi folks,

Does anybody know if I can fly an 'N'-reg a/c on IFR/night in Europe with my FAA PPL/IR license? i.e., Germany...

Thanks

American aircraft, american license. Your IR is valid worldwide.

True. Just make sure the aircraft has an ADF, ELT and Mode-S in addition to the usual stuff (VOR, DME etc). Without that trio it's not legal for IFR flight in a lot of European countries.
