FAA FAR 2009 Rules
XDgb14· 15 jan
To Whom It May Concern.
The 2009 edition of the (US) Federal Aviation Regulations and Aeronautical Information Manual (FAR/AIM) has recently been published and there are several changes affecting pilots with FAA (US) Airmen certificates, both those issued in their own right, and on the basis of their Foreign license 'commonly known as 61.75 certificate' as well as those who have FAA (US) Instrument Rating (IR) privileges.
Duration of pilot and instructor certificates:
61.19(h) says the holder of a paper pilot certificate issued by the FAA may not exercise the privileges of that certificate after March 31, 2010. This means you must have the 'Orville and Wilbur Wright' credit card or plastic certificate by March 31, 2010, or you may not exercise the privileges of that certificate.
English Language Proficiency:
This document states that unless your FAA (US) certificate (including those with a 61.75 certificate) has 'English language proficient' on it by March 05, 2009, or you may 'outside the United States' not exercise the privileges of that certificate.
61.75 certificates with an expiration date:
61.11(c) says a pilot certificate issued on the basis of a foreign pilot license will expire on the date the foreign pilot license expires, unless otherwise specified on the 61.75 certificate. €ASA/JAA are issuing pilot licenses validated for five years. If you’re getting a new 61.75 certificate, check whether your 61.75 certificate has an expiry date !!
note: expire date will be listed on the back in the limitations section, along with 'English proficient'.
61.75 certificate renewal:
If you have a 'paper pilot' 61.75 certificate, the only way to get a 'Orville and Wilbur Wright' credit card or plastic certificate with 'English proficient' on it is to go to a Flight Standards District Office (FSDO).
ONLY FAA (US) Airmen certificates issued in their own right, can be 'cost 2 USD' renewed ONLINE
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will not authorise 61.75 certificate renewal to be done online !!
(TIP) If applicable, don't forget your electronic US Travel Authorization (ESTA program) and/or make sure you have an appointment with a Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), before departure.
61.75 privileges:
Your 'ICAO compliant' foreign pilot license and medical certificate must be valid, be 'mental and physically' fit to fly, be category & class rated and current if carrying passengers and you're required to have a valid FAA (US) flight review - commonly known as Biannual Flight Review (BFR).
61.56(c) says No person may act as pilot in command of an aircraft unless, since the beginning of the 24th calendar month before that pilot acts as pilot in command, that person has --
(1) Accomplished a flight review given in an aircraft for which that pilot is rated by an authorized instructor.
(2) A logbook endorsed from an authorized instructor who gave the review certifying that the person has satisfactorily completed the review.
Remember: 61.75(e) 'Operating privileges and limitations' subpart (1) says may act as a pilot of a civil aircraft of U.S. registry in accordance with the private pilot privileges authorized by this part - (2) is limited to the privileges placed on the certificate by the administrator - (3) is subject to the limitations and restrictions on the U.S. certificate and foreign pilot license when exercising the privileges of that U.S. pilot certificate in an aircraft of U.S. registry operating within or outside the United States - (4) shall not exercise the privileges of that U.S. private pilot certificate when the person's foreign pilot license has been revoked or suspended.
note: A common misunderstanding is that 61.75 certificate holders requires an FAA (US) 'Part 67' medical certificate. If you are operating within 'ALL LIMITATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS OF THE FOREIGN PILOT LICENSE', you don't need an FAA (US) ‘Part 67’ medical certificate.
61.75(b) 'Certificate issued' subpart (4) says holds a current medical certificate issued under part 67 of this chapter OR a current medical certificate issued by the country that issued the person's foreign pilot license. 61.3(c) ‘Medical certificate’ part (2) subpart (vii) says holds a current medical certificate issued by the foreign country that issued the foreign pilot license, which is in that person's physical possession or readily accessible in the aircraft when exercising the privileges of that airman certificate
€ASA/JAA - FAA (US) v.v.:
If you updated your 'ICAO compliant' foreign pilot license to €ASA/JAA, WITHOUT 61.75 'ISSUED ON BASIS OF AND VALID ONLY WHEN ACCOMPANIED BY FOREIGN PILOT LICENSE NUMBER(S) 9876543210' RENEWAL, your 61.75 certificate is INVALID !!
National, recreational pilot license or brevet de base ect. including non or 'valid/invalid' 61.75 certificate holders, for domestic operations of civil aircraft 'U.S. registry' outside the United States, consult FAR 61 section 3 'Requirement for certificates, ratings, and authorizations' part (a), subpart (1).
FAA (US) Flight instruction:
An authorised instructor is one that holds an valid FAA (US) CFI or CFII certificate !!
(TIP) International 'Overseas' National Association of Flight Instructors (NAFI) members can be found HERE
(TIP) €urope's ONLY authorized FAA (US) Fixed Wing Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE), can be found HERE
note: if non US citizens receive 'World Wide' FAA (US) flight instruction towards any FAA (US) Airmen certificate or 'add-on' rating, you 'application fee 130 USD' and your FAA (US) flight instruction provider must comply with the Alien Flight Student Program (AFSP) !!
FAA (US) Instrument Rating (IR) holders:
Consult '2009' FAR 61 section 57 'Recent Flight Experience' part (c) 'Instrument experience'.
Finally, if you don't comply with the (US) Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR), you are operating or flying illegal. If you have an incident or accident, your insurance company will not cover or back you up. Even outside the United States it's NOT uncommon the FAA will take legal action, fine you or (worst-case scenario) revoke/suspend your US Airmen certificate !!

Jos Q· 16 janNieuwe aanvragen gaan wel heel vlot.
Vraag een nieuwe vergunning aan en geef op de aanvraag aan waar je ze gaat ophalen (FSDO), pikant detail, je moet ze deze keer zelf in de US gaan ophalen, dus niets meer hier in Europa te regelen. Je gaat naar een van de lokale FSDO kantoren (ben zelf in Las Vegas geweest) en haalt daar de mooie nieuwe 'Orville and Wilbur Wright' credit card vergunning af.
Niet vergeten dat je een geldig medisch attest moet voorleggen.
Dit is eenmalig, eenmaal je deze vergunning hebt kan je nadien via de post een nieuwe aanvragen als je bv verhuist.
Als er aanpassingen/vernieuwingen/verleningen moeten gebeuren, bv bijkomende ratings, moet dit opnieuw via US FAA.
Succes en vergeet de vervaldatum "March 31, 2010" niet, na die vervaldatum kan je de hele procedure over doen alsof je nog nooit een US vergunning of gelijkstelling hebt gehad.

§ 61.3 Requirement for certificates, ratings, and authorizations.
(a) Pilot certificate. A person may not act as pilot in command or in any other capacity as a required pilot flight crewmember of a civil aircraft of U.S. registry, unless that person—
(1) Has a valid pilot certificate or special purpose pilot authorization issued under this part in that person's physical possession or readily accessible in the aircraft when exercising the privileges of that pilot certificate or authorization. However, when the aircraft is operated within a foreign country, a current pilot license issued by the country in which the aircraft is operated may be used

Indien je na 5 maart 2009 de privileges van 'n US §61.75 Certificate 'outside the United States' wilt gebruiken(?), dan zal je US §61.75 Certificate ENGLISH PROFICIENT 'endorsed' moeten zijn.
Note: alle US Certificates incl. §61.75, uitgegeven na 11 Februari 2008 zijn ENGLISH PROFICIENT 'endorsed' en van het Orville and Wilbur Wright 'credit card' type.
Een ander zeer belangrijk punt, is dat ALLE nieuw uitgegeven US § 61.75 Certificates, nu voorzien zijn van een expiratie datum.
Deze expiratie datum is gelijk aan de expiratie datum van het basis brevet.
M.a.w. in het meest gunstigste geval, is 'n US § 61.75 Certificate (net geen) vijf (5) jaar geldig !!
Indien je US §61.75 Certificate is verlopen, dan zal je van A t/m Z opnieuw de procedure moeten doorlopen en naar 'n Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) moeten afreizen.
De enige uitweg in dezen is om 'n volwaardig 'issued in their own right' US Airmen Certificate te (be)halen.

Huh, begrijp ik 'm nu verkeerd of moet het antwoord dan toch ja zijn? Als je een FAA geregistreerde kist in Nederland wil vliegen voldoe je met een JAA brevet toch aan de eis "However, when the aircraft is operated within a foreign country, a current pilot license issued by the country in which the aircraft is operated may be used" ?
Merk trouwens wel op dat deze bepalingen de FAA bepalingen zijn. In Nederland gelden daar bovenop nog eens eventuele bepalingen van de JAA en IVW, die dit mogelijk weer niet toe staan. Ik ben daar zelf echter niet goed van op de hoogte, dus wie het weet mag het zeggen

Voor wat (gans) Europa betreft is het neen en blijft het neen.
Note: Jos Q, vroeg 'Is it allowed to fly N registered aircrafts in Europe with only a JAA licence?'
"However, when the aircraft is operated within a foreign country, a current pilot license issued by the country in which the aircraft is operated may be used"
However, ............. wil zeggen, (voorbeeld) NL-JAA is uitsluitend binnen de Nederlandse territoriale grenzen, UK-JAA is alleen binnen de UK territoriale grenzen enz. enz.
Omdat het inschrijvingskenmerk 'primair' bepalend is voor de van toepassing zijnde regelgeving, heeft het IVW/NLA, JAA/EASA enz. met uitzondering van §91.703 niet zoveel in te brengen in dezen (§61.3 (a) (1)).

Met andere woorden: met een JAR-FCL (PPL) mag je dus wel in heel Europa in een N registered aircraft vliegen?
