Hello people! What have you heard about the opt-out status allowing FAA license holders based in Europe to continue flying N-registered aircraft in EASA airspace? According to my fellow flight club members, the whole opt-out system is being phased out on June 2022, but I have seen neither an official EASA doc on the matter nor a comment from the various European AOPAs or the US AOPA, for that matter.

Current status is every country on board for 2021 will be on board until 6/2022, but EASA is known for publishing their stats quite late, last time around the 2019-2021 spreadsheet was published in 3Q 2019 even though the opt-out had been in force since June and agreed upon since Q1 2019… so I’m quite uncertain, and asking EASA will probably elicit an answer in late 2024, if that.

Subject to ICAO the state where the aircraft is registered decides who may pilot the aeroplane. It does not matter where the pilot resides.
