N-Reg Trust?
We're probably moving the beloved Arrer onto the N-reg at the end of the year, unless circumstances change dramatically.
We've got most things in hand, but haven't yet decided which "trust company" to use. Prices seem to vary significantly - not sure why.
I'd be very grateful for any comments anyone may have, good (or not-so-good, in confidence if need be) on trustees in the UK.

Whats an Arrer? Is it a Cherokee Arrow?
If so I think you need to consider of all the hidden "extras" that may be involved.
I have a Warrior which is on the N reg , but only because thats the way it came from Germany.
The Trust is renewable every year (compared with a 3 year C of A) and you need to take into account the following extras:
1. 2 licences, for flying abroad, and therefore;
2. 2 medicals (US and UK). (just renewed £200)...
3. Trust renewable every year (£400+ VAT with some people) compared to C of A fees...
4. Fees for a FAA inspector EVERY annual (£250 usually)
5. £150+ for FAA Radio Licence at each change of ownership.
If you sell the market may be very limited because of the Reg. and the costs of changing back to the UK register are immense, if not impossible (Export C of A etc. etc.). I have been quoted over £5000...sometimes a lot more.
There are other factors ,I know, but with some of the new EASA regulations (Notice 75 etc) is it still worthwhile?..
I wish I was on the UK register but the cost of changing is horrifying.
You do need to be very careful about this with such a simple type.

2. Same as above
3. Fair cop, but................
4. Have you paid for a UK annual recently? Also there's the saving that comes with not requiring 50 hour checks
5. What someone else has to pay isn't really your problem is it - the important thing is you only have to pay it the once (or once every 10 years anyway)
The biggy though - access to airways and IFR here and in Europe due to a more accessible IR. Let's be honest - that's worth paying for and the main reason why Keef, and others, go 'N' reg.

As Mode 'S' is an airspace, not an aircraft requirement then it will affect everyone, no matter the state of registry. However, it may not be looming (for some) as early as we all thought. Read this link - especially the comments about half way through.

2 licences required if you wish to continue to fly UK Registerd aircraft to France (well maybe not!). But would you want to let your UK licence lapse?
Yes I have paid for 2 Annuals recently. How do you get around a FAA inspector... be interested to know!
Re 50 hour checks.. agreed.. not required.. but then would be silly not to change oil, check hydraulics, compressions etc...
Airways..OK but how often in a SEP? Especially around London!You wont get in nowadays...
It does need careful thinking about, especially if you have bought the aircraft on the UK Reg and then try to sell it US Reg...

UV,
You can let your UK licence 'lapse' for up to 5 years and then revalidate by having a medical and a flight with an examiner.
You furthermore do not need a CAA licence to fly outside the UK in your G reg aeroplane as the FAA license is good for that.

Why not just have an FAA licence "issued on the basis of" your UK one? Then only one medical required to keep both current. You'd still need a BFR I guess. Still, it amazes me when people talk about the cost of a licence or a medical - relative to the cost of owning and flying a (IFR certified) plane, who cares?
Flying Dutch:
"You furthermore do not need a CAA licence to fly outside the UK in your G reg aeroplane as the FAA license is good for that."
No. I dont think so. The CAA provision is only be for flights in UK Airspace. As far as I am aware they do not legislate about these matters outside UK airspace. That is a matter for the nation concerned.

"Why not just have an FAA licence "issued on the basis of" your UK one? Then only one medical required to keep both current"
Again No. the wording on an FAA licence reads;
"Issued on the basis of and only valid when accompanied by United Kingdom Licence No...
All Limitations and restrictions on the UK Pilot Licence Apply".
Therefore, UK Medical required to validate UK Licence, in ALL respects, which, only then, can be used to validate a US Licence.
"You'd still need a BFR I guess."
NO wrong too!
Why, if you have a VALID UK licence?....See above limitations!

for reasons I don't pretend to understand, you can fly a G-reg aircraft under VFR on an FAA licence, anywhere that the G-reg can go. 2D may be able to explain the various bits of law that make it so, but I am firmly convinced it is so.
If you have an FAA licence issued on the back of your CAA/JAA licence, you still need a BFR for the FAA bit - as well as for the JAA bit. Them's the rules. I know it may mean two BFRs in a week - one for the JAA, one for the FAA - but there you go.

The reason one is able to fly a G-reg on an FAA PPL, and do so worldwide, it because the CAA automatically validates FAA PPLs.
So, in effect, one is flying the G-reg with a CAA PPL.

They also say that if your license is issued on the basis of an ICAO licence, then you DO NOT need an FAA medical, as long as your ICAO license is valid, and you hold a medical certificate.
You can fly a G reg abroad on an FAA ticket, for the reasons IO540 has pointed out....

Was at SRG Gatwick the other day. Heard a good rumour. Easa are proposing a six month limit on foreign reg ac in an EASA state. So basically you get six months on the N reg and then it must take state reg.
It was only discussed in passing, and will take years to implement. However it was interesting to hear. I don't know the legalities et al, only being a messenger of a rumour.
If it is true, saves time thinking of the above topic.
