The way I read the FAR's, both crew members on a two pilot US registered jet are required to have FAA certificates for the duty being performed. This includes foreign crew members that are certificated in their home country. i.e. on a US registered Hawker on a paid Part 91 flight flown IFR, a Mexican co-pilot would be required to have at a minimum, a FAA ailplane commercial MEL with an instrument rating.
The only exception to the above it a US registered airplane that is leased to a foreign operator.
Your thoughts?
