What happens now that the regulations have changed, will I be able to fly in Europe with a licence from a 3rd country?.

Here we tell you about it:

2022 will bring an end to the exemption for being bases in the EU and flying thrid-country registered aircraft with thrid country licenses (e.g. Fliying N-registered aircraft with FAA licence, when living permanently in the EU).

The current exemption runs out on 20 June 2022 and will not be renewed. From then on you will need an EU licence if you live permanently in the EU.

We have kept extending that exemption possibility year after year to await the entry into application of the licencing annex to the EU-USA BASA. That annex is now in force and Member States are processing applications to validate licences to meet the deadline. The text of the annex can be found here:
