Owning and flying N reg in Australia
HighFlyer75,
Increasingly, there are FAA A&Ps and AIs around Australia, with the way CASA requirements for maintenance are going, having N (or other) registered aircraft in Australia will become increasingly popular.
The maintenance requirements of FAA Part 91/43 make far more sense than Australian (particularly the new) regulations.
If you are operating on an AOC, the aircraft does not have to be VH-
Already a quite significant proportion of the executive jets owned by Australian companies are on the likes of the Bermuda or Isle of Mann register.
Tootle pip!!

Oh and Australia is not like that ........?
Story goes insurance paid the aircraft out and he then decided to sue the testing officer doing his flight review for "letting him" flip it. Insuracne had "already settled" and passed it on.

A it of a thread resurrection (only because I am thinking of bringing in a couple of N reg a/c to Aus), but has the prevalence of N reg a/c and FAA A&Ps/AIs increased over the years or has there been any developments in regulations around foreign a/c based in Aus? I have searche CASA (and the web, which led me to this thread), but haven't found much..
Thanks in advance...

Wasn't there a previous AOPA President who owned a N registered Navajo Panther?
Up the food chain a bit, there are quite a few Australian based executive jets and bigger helicopters on N or other ( Bermuda etc.) registers, based in Australia.
Years back, it always amused me that a Chief Engineer of a fleet of Bermuda registered aircraft, based in Australia, was a Director of CASA.

I reckon that you may mean Boyd? I understand that he had one based in the UK and one in OZ. I had the "pleasure" of having a trip with him in his OZ aircraft to the AOPA AGM at Moree in 2000.
IIRC, he was trying to wrest control of the AOPA presidency from Bill Hamilton.
It was an enlightening weekend of contrasting, massive egos for me..

hi mate. I work at a place that just brought an n reg plane. What do I need to be able to fly it in Aus? It’s a piper Cheyenne PA-31T with twin pt6 engines. I’m pretty sure it’s just multi turbo prop endorsement and a fcc licence? Cheers for any help !
