Can i fly a N registered aircraft within Spain airspace with my JAR license issued in Spain?

Asked by: 4544 views FAA Regulations

Hello, i would like to know if it is posible to fly a N registered lightaircraft within Spain boundaries using my JAR CPL (A) license issued in Spain.

And in case it is posible, can i use my JAR logbook to log the time on?

I know it applies for many countries but in Spain nobody seems to know much about this and i do not know where can i find the answer.

The thing is that a friend of mine has a lightaircraft with N registration and i would like to log some hours if it is legal.

Thanks.

    Assuming that you are currently in Spain, why not go to an airport and ask a Spanish flight instructor.  If he doesn’t know the answer, then perhaps he can direct you to someone who does.
     
    Alternatively, you may apply for and be granted a US pilot certificate based upon your Spanish license.  It would be issued with Private privileges, but would allow you to fly an N registered airplane anywhere.  Don’t know anywhere overseas where this could be accomplished.  You probably would need to come to the US to get it.  Information about the process is on http://www.faa.gov

    Yes i am in Spain, the thing is that i have asked to many FTO’s and instructors and nobody has given me an answer. I have called to Aviation Authorities in Spain and they say that JAR licenses permit to fly aircraft registered in a JAR country only.
     
    Then i know for sure that in other JAR countries (UK, Germany, France) and maybe more, it is a usual practice.
     
    Thanks for replying.

    As I understand it (and I’m not saying I do) the FAA is fine with it. So it’s up to each individual country where the flight will take place to determine if THEY are OK with it.
     
    Since you’ve talked to the “Aviation Authorities in Spain” and they have said you cannot fly an N-registered plane that would seem to be a definitive answer, unless you have some reason to distrust the people you asked. The fact that it’s allowed in other countries isn’t relevant.
