about the Belgian pilot => According to him, their authorities impose that.

And I must say they do have the right to do so (over their own country).

But as I wrote the Belgian authorities to have confirmation, we'll see what they say... (if they answer :-) those problems are hot potatoes nobody wants to catch)

PS : It seems also that you can fly a G-reg airplane in the US with an FAA certificate, I'll check that point too but if I remember well it is in the FAR-AIM.
But I do not know how long the airplane can remain G-reg in the US, that is another problem. In France you need a trustee to keep you N-reg. The French authorities wanted to impose 6 months max even with a trustee, but this was not applied (until now).

How do you think that certain airlines with poor standards can be banned from Europe?

On the grounds of not being ICAO compliant (invalid CofA due to poor maintenance). Very simple.

This risks reciprocal action but presumably Euroland was not too bothered about that, since the Africans/Asians need European tourists more than Euroland needs African/poor-country-Asian tourists....

At a more basic level, each country has sovereignty over its airspace, so the UK could just shoot down any French planes flying in UK airspace. This does not breach ICAO either, but would have some other repercussions.

Quote:

Under ICAO, a country can require aircraft based in that cuntry to be placed on it's register and pilots flying it's aircraft in that country to be licensed by or validated by that country.

The US is a perfect example.........bring a G reg to the US with your UK PPL and if you want to keep it there you will have to both put the aircraft on the N register and obtain an FAA pilot certificate.

And the reference for the above is ..... where?

Dear all,

I received an answer from the Belgian authorities ( http://www.mobilit.fgov.be/ ). I must say they are very efficient, and quite nice.
I received 2 answers within 24 hours of my request, both confirming what my Belgian pilot had said.

You can fly an N-Reg airplane over Belgium, IF you hold at least an FAA validation of your Belgian PPL.

Best regards,

Alexandra
