flyimg a N registered A/C in UK
I was wondering if anyone can tell me if you need a UK license to fly an N registered a/c in England or is an FAA license all you need.
Flying privately, you'll need an ICAO PPL to fly either N or G reg in the UK. Both FAA and JAA PPLs are recognized ICAO PPLs.
For flying commercially, it's much more complicated...
HTH.

but then you cannot fly abroad...even s ireland ...unless 2 things match....ie same licence as reg , same reg as country etc you cannot fly faa licence , G reg machine outside UK. .....or other way around ...simple really.

Not sure if that last statement is true. I had a converstion about this recently with some other pilots and they seem to think the Irish and UK aviation authorities have an understanding to allow this.
I have a freiend who was recently ramp checked by the IAA when he was flying a G reg Squirrel on an FAA Private in Donegal and they said all was OK.
Any theories anyone?

has it not changed since JAA/JAR you could always fly in your own country/region on a faa licence now with JAR/JAA all JAR/JAA countries are your own for licence purposes

Donegal is in The Republic of Ireland. The Irish and UK have no problem with flying on a FAA license. You don't have to worry at all, get your FAA PPL(H)!
* The Irish want you to have a FAA Medical Class II though.

Like I said already, that is much, MUCH more complicated.
You're opening up the proverbial can'o'worms/hornets nest.
Essentially, you can't do AOC Public Transport work in this country in an N-reg aircraft. So you can't be paid if you've got an FAA CPL(H) by working 'commercially'.
N-reg aircraft can be flown corporately (for the time being) in the UK but technically, I guess that you could be flying on a FAA PPL(H) for that work.
If you want to be a commercial pilot in the UK, you'll need (at least) a JAA CPL(H). But, of course, you won't get a job with just a CPL(H)...
