JAA in the U.S.

Does anyone know if a JAA instructor can instruct in the U.S in an N registered aircraft freelance?

Seaweed,

It all depends on what you intend to do?
For initial PPL training- no you cannot instruct since you cannot give FAA endorsements for students to go solo/solo cross countries.
If you have your restriction removed than you can instruct for JAA modular CPL course (gray area) since the pilot being trained already holds a licence and if you hold FAA licence you can be P1. The problem with this is that no school will hire you and you cannot be componsated since you are not allowed to work.
If you just want to instruct freelance and not get paid for it, you can do instruction for mocular CPL training (provided you are working for CPL approved school and plane is also provided by them). I hope this helps

....and all that from Desipilot is based on the assumption that the JAA instructor holds a JAA CPL (or higher).

If the instructor rating is based on a PPL with CPL theoretical knowledge - then you cannot teach for CPL either....you could teach towards PPL (at an approved school).

Do you have to be associated with an FTO?

jaa usa

I'd be carefull of your interpretation of US immigration laws. Going over to the USA to instruct without any remuneration is not going to be viewed in the same light as you might think. Since 9/11, the USA has cracked right down on people coming in and out of the country and when it comes to flying either you are training or you are working as far as the authorities are concerned (both of which required a visa in the passport).

Most FTOs requiring JAA instructors may be reluctant to let you work even if you are not getting paid since the authorities will come down on them as much as you if found out. If you get deported, then you could be faced with a 10 year ban in your passport!!

A JAA Instructor can only instruct for a JAA Licence.
To do this in a JAA State you need to be either Registered, or work within a Registered Facility for PPL training; or work at an approved FTO to conduct professional courses.

Outside a JAA State you can only instruct for a JAA Licence at a FTO approved by a JAA State.

So to answer your question, you cannot operate freelance instructing for a JAA licence anywhere.
