Faa License
 

Hi can anyone confirm that if you hold an Faa commercial License, what are you able to fly in Uk can you fly a G reg aircraft in Uk,Ireland,Europe,I am wondering is this a route to go rather than Jaa Commercial.

You can only excersise the privileges of a PPL(H) in the UK and Ireland on G or EI reg. As of April 2012 this won't be possible anymore because every European Resident will have to have an JAA/EASA license then.

So it's definitely not the way to go.

If the Euro crashes...and the EU dissolves.....then what?:E

Then I think Europeans will be better off!

I knew the UK and Europe were trending towards "socialism" but to require every citizen to go out and get a License to fly helicopters is beyond anything I would have imagined!:uhoh:


This must be great for the CFI's out there....and the CAA Licensing folks!

Think you need to get out more SAS, the Commissioners do not take jokes lightly:D

Hiller,

Didn't know that. When was that announced? Looks like the FAA Ticket will be getting converted over then!

There was another thread a few weeks back, think started by nigelh on this.

I think we have until 2016 to fly on our FAA tickets for ppl(h) in England

I forget if there is a different date (earlier) on which we may fly G-Reg outside of England.

There is a very long discussion in the Private Flying forum going on for over a year regarding this.

Plus another lengthy thread on the impact to the IMC rating once EASA take over the asylum.

Been writing to my Euro MP for months :ugh:It hardly hurts anymore, promises to look at the problem & no more.
