Flying a private 'N' registered with an EASA license

[LEALLEMD]

Hello guys!

Due to my current non-flying job in an FBO I’ve been offered a FO position in a Falcon 2000 which is currently based in Spain. I own an EASA Spanish CAA CPL(A) and fATPL. The problem is that this bird is currently registered in the United States (N) and I’m not sure if I would be able to fly it with my license. The owner is considering in moving its registration to the Isle of Man or getting a random VP- (from Bermuda I guess) but this is not 100% confirmed. The captain has an FAA ATP.

The aircraft is only involved in private operations ’flying the boss’ mainly in Europe
Many thanks!

You'll need a type rating so you may as well get your FAA conversion at the same time, either CPL or ATP depending on your hours.

Hola,

As far as I know, you will need an FAA license and Type in order to fly any N registered airplane, either private or commercial.
Isle of Man or Bermuda will accept both licenses for conversion.

Good luck.

If you reside in Euroupe you will need to have a valid FAA and EASA licence to fly N-reg, and of course the type rating.

Many thanks to all of you guys for your replies. I’ll wait for the owner to change the tail reg to Bermuda or IOM, and see what happens next.

Instead of guessing READ the REGULATIONS !

N-reg Falcon 2000 based in Spain.
If you reside in Europe a valid FAA and EASA licence is required.

The OP already has an EASA licence. The 'based in' part is thus covered.

Then, what Office Update said ...

This, ("If you reside in Euroupe you will need to have a valid FAA and EASA licence to fly N-reg, and of course the type rating"), is incorrect. IF the aircraft is OPERATED, within the EU, then you need both tickets (and don't you DARE, think that an FAA ticket holder can fly a plane as well as an EASA jockey!!).....

YEEHAH FOR BREXIT......So long SUCKAS!!! I'm gonna Operate me a G "Fye Fiddy", on the N reg, outta London!

Nope.. CAA will want to stay in EASA... Big difference: you will have to pay more for being part of EASA and less say in what comes out of EASA...

So long SUCKAS!!! You will have to pay us to listen to us LOL

If the OPERATOR is outside of the EU (nothing to do with a country being an EASA State or not), then you dont need 2 flying tickets....2 medicals....or anything else. You need just whatever is appropriate for your aircraft registry. The UK is not in the EU :-p

Maybe the Yanks did do something half-way, semi-correct by kicking them out back in 17-hundred-whatever. Sorry, but I am on a bit of a Brit-bashing roll this evening.
