Whirlycopter,
Just to correct your assertion that you cannot fly abroad in a G registered aircraft with an FAA licence. This is a direct quote from the SRG, CAA "The privileges of an FAA PPL (as an ICAO licence) may be exercised in UK registered aircraft for private purposes only. The UK Air Navigation Order therefore does not prevent you exercising the privileges of an FAA licence, night or instrument rating, outside controlled airspace ( for the IR). The Air Navigation Order does not place any territorial activity on exercising these privileges since your FAA licence is deemed to be valid in UK registered aircraft, so it does not constrain you to UK airspace. It is possible that a JAA state may be able to exclude you from their airspace but this in unlikely and, indeed, DGAC FRance has indicated that it is acceptable to fly in that state with an FAA licence on UK registered aircraft."
Germany has also indicated that they also have no objection to flight in G registered aircraft by FAA licence holders.

Licence use Flowchart - anyone?
Looking at the various backgrounds out there I'm hoping someone has a link to a flowchart that clearly depicts what one can and cannot do with such and such a licence, be it a JAR/FAA/UK ATPL CPL PPL Night IFR etc etc
Tried 'Flyer.co.uk' and numerous other sources but nothing so extensive seems to exist. Before I wade through LASORs etc and construct my own - thought I'd ask the question as I'm sure it's all been done before.

Try this link it should direct you to the CAA's LASORS (licence,Administration and Standardization-Operating Requirements and Standards) essentially a replacement for CAP 53/54.
You should find all you need there.

Sounds like what we need is an NPPL(H) although I doubt if it will ever happen as there is not sufficient demand. I had a situation last year where my JAA Class 2 medical was suspended for a while and I was in process of getting an NPPL so I could keep flying fixed wing at least. Luckily for me the CAA relented and I got my Class 2 back.
