Hi all,

Can anyone give details on what an EASA PPL/ medical holder needs to do to fly a G-reg aircraft in EASA airspace?

I can only find information of flying aircraft in the UK (both G reg and EASA) on the CAA website, not flying G reg overseas.

Thanks

It’s not that surprising, you should be looking on an EASA website for rules governing what aircraft you can fly on an EASA licence in EASAland.

From a quick Google search it appears that some EASA countries allowed an aircraft with a 3rd country reg to be flown with only an EASA licence. But all of the responses were at least 2 years old so you would need to ask in the countries in which you wish to fly.

An alternate solution would be to get a U.K. licence if that is possible, then you would be flying under normal ICAO rules and could go to any ICAO country that you like.

For Part 21 aircraft registered in the UK, you will always need a UK licence or validation. The FAA allow US-registered aircraft to be flown in a third country, using a licence issued by that country, but there is no equivalent to that in UK law. Suggest dropping [email protected] a message and seeing what they suggest.

For non-Part 21 aircraft, ANO Article 150 deems valid foreign licences for UK registered aircraft on non-commercial operations.

Maybe they do, but the state of registry rules regarding licensing always apply to that aircraft.

Flying G-reg in EASA airspace with an EASA license is no problem at all.
Of course your EASA license ratings and endorsements shall allow you to do it.

EASA never adopted the following document and it is still valid.

It’s no longer within the EU/EASA’s gift to deem what privileges apply to what are now Part 21 UK registered aircraft.

There were multitudes of pieces of regulation, documents, decrees, agreements etc. which either outwardly or implicitly included the UK prior to Brexit. Those were binned on the day the transition period ended, and no longer apply to UK aircraft or licences unless specifically assimilated into UK law.

Find me the UK instrument which does that for this bit of paper and I’ll believe what you say.

This is incorrect. For 2 years following Brexit, the UK CAA unilaterally allowed EASA licence holders to fly G reg aeroplanes in the vain hope that EASA would reciprocate. They didn't.

So from 1st Jan 2020 CAA PPL holders could not fly EASA reg aeroplanes. From 1st Jan 2023, EASA PPL holders could no longer fly G reg aeroplanes.

I'm pretty sure it is an oversight on EASA's part that the document still references the UK.
