N Reg on NPPL
Hi guys,
Have searched this and can't find other posts but apologies if this topic is covered elsewhere.
Can I fly an N Reg aircraft on an NPPL around the uk and channel islands?
I saw a thread on flyer that turned into a pissing match on this subject and was no help whatsoever!
Thanks!

No. From the NPPL website..FAQs
Q Can I fly my 'N' registered aircraft on my NPPL?
A No. This is because the NPPL is a sub-ICAO licence, and the usual reciprocity with the USA and other ICAO contracting states does not apply. As the holder of a UK NPPL, you may only fly in UK airspace in a UK registered aircraft.

NPPL FAQs
No, a NPPL (SSEA) holder may not fly foreign-registered aircraft.
From LASORS 2010:
The NPPL(SSEA) may now be used in airspace of the UK, IoM, CI, Ireland and France. However, CI, Ireland and France have individual additional compliance requirements which may be viewed on the NPPL website.
Hence CAP804 makes it rather clearer:
From LASORS 2010:
The NPPL is a sub-ICAO licence* and therefore is restricted for use in G-registered aircraft within UK airspace. For flights outside of the UK please refer to Schedule 7, Part A, Section 3 of the Air Navigation Order or Section A, Appendix F of LASORS.
An NPPL holder with SSEA ratings can now fly in France following an agreement with the French DGAC, provided the holder is in possession of an SSEA rating, Class 2 Medical Certificate and a certificate confirming a minimum level of experience. For further details of the experience requirements and cost refer to NPLG Ltd.
* Holders of a SLMG rating may operate UK registered SLMGs outside the UK providing they obtain a JAR-Class 1 or 2 medical certificate and demonstrate the ICAO requirement of 40 hours training. Application is then made to PLD for an appropriate licence endorsement.

Hence CAP804 makes it rather clearer:
The holder of a UK NPPL(A) with an SSEA/SLMG rating may exercise the privileges of the licence to fly non-EASA SSEA or SLMGs, as applicable, registered in the UK in UK airspace. Use of the licence within the airspace of other countries is subject to the agreement of the relevant authorities in those countries.
The licence is also valid for EASA SSEA and SLMGs until 8 April 2015.
