Flying from EASAland to Non-EASAland
I'm trying to determine if a pilot with an FAA license can operate an 'N' registered aircraft based in Europe (EASA) on a flight from an EASA country to a non-EASA country.
Anyone have a definitive answer?
Cheers

I think that the question is related to the Part -NCC status of the operation.
On a licence stand point, there is no real issue. The country of operation ( base) might shed a light on the traps in front of you.
Anyway, if part NCC, you have to comply with the manual requirements in terms of crews and training ( sometimes it is as little as signing a form, sometimes it goes the full monty..)

The aircraft is resident to/based in Europe, private operation, however it is 'N' registered. Not enough time to get a 'validation based on foreign license' to operate the jet, so looking at a pilot flying the jet from/to Europe.
And yes, similar to flying from Ireland to USA (but that's not the itinerary

Find out...who is the 'operator' of the aircraft. That means for a part 91, either there is a very well established and clearly legally defined management contract in place with an operator, or the owner will be considered as being the operator. Then ask yourself where is the operator based? That means from where is operational control being exercised?. This can be a difficult question for a non expert to answer, and isn't just where does the person live or where is the office of the company.
You need to understand this, because of the operator is considered by the EU to be based in the EU then you need an EASA licence, regardless of anything else.
