Flying with FAA licenses in Sweden as a private pilot?
Is it possible to apply to fly temporarily in Sweden with FAA licences as a private pilot? I´ve heard some rumours about this. Anyone have more information?

I dont know about sweden, but here in Norway(i think its the same in all JAA countrys) you can only fly on FAA license if its commercial. But there are some limitations. Only VFR day(so no ifr) and only fly in the country where the plane is registered.. If you only have a private, you have to convert it to a JAA private pilot licence thrue a flightschool. Oh.. You can only fly for 1 Year on your license from the first logged time. Im actually doing it now before my ATPL connversion

You can fly as much as you like with an FAA certificate, provided you are flying an N-registered aircraft But not for compensation or hire (commercial ops), with a few excemptions
If you`re asking about a validation, then I think the period of validation is (still) 1 year. The main idea behind this (I`m guessing) is so that you can keep your flying skills up to speed while converting to JAA/EU/EASA ATPL
If I were you I would contact the Swedish JAA for the correct info, as there may be some local, national variations. Happy landings!

Hi,
Just some clarification:
Quote:...you can only fly on FAA license if its commercial...
No. ICAO and EU directives also let you fly on a PPL, on several (reasonable) conditions
Quote:...I would contact the Swedish...
Yes. This is the only way you can be sure to avoid "...there may be some local, national variations..."
Cheers,
