Southern Air Interview Gouge

As an FAA pilot I may not fly for revenue a G, C, D or anything other than an N registered aircraft.

When Sun Country leased Transavia 737s, they remained on the PH- register, but where flown by Sun Country pilots. What those pilots could not do was fly those airplanes in the Netherlands which wasn't an issue.

Back in the day, TWA had quite a few MD-80's leased from GPA that were registered in Ireland (EI-). As long as the airplane is on your ops specs and you are operating it in accordance with your certificate (121) you are free to use any airplane that you wish- as long as it has a type cert. from the FAA.

Atlas currently does CMI with SonAir planes. The plane are SonAir's. The planes are "N" registered and we use a "Giant" call sign.

They are operated by AAI and flown by AAI pilots. US pilots can fly for AAI but the aircraft are TF registered and operated by AAI.

I hope it is true. I have friends in your ranks and would hate to see them lose anything.

...and yet, in the same thread, you wrote:

they will be N registered, the airline will just pay the lease! once the company signed the agreement i will post there name.

I'm guessing the Cherry is really good...:beer:

Just for the sake of argument, at Atlas, we had LX-DCV on our certificate for years, and we are a US Flag Carrier. I flew it many times. I don't think the FAA cares as long as you maintain it according to US FAA rules and it's on your cert.

Not a true statement. You only need to a local country validation. Many ex-pats fly overseas.

so they are liscensed to flight that tail? As a Canadian I have to have my TC liscenses and endorsments, yes it is only a 25 question test to "validate" and a medical and RT, but none the less I have to have the liscenses. It is the same in the UAE, UK, China, and Japan.
