Typical Yankee overkill! Who else would need an eight-man raft in a two-man plane?

N tail number though

 

 

[fly_tornado]

lots of US GA aircraft fly in Europe, its pretty common.

I've seen a few N's here in Australia, is it cheaper rego or another reason not for not getting a "VH" number.

Please correct me if I am wrong. Wasn't it Douglas Bader who filled his prosthetic metal legs with ping-pong balls in case he had to bail out over water? All went well until he reached a certain altitude over the English Channel and they started exploding, leading him to think he was being shot at.

I don't recall paying anything for my VH rego.

If you have a US registered plane in Australia, you have to get an FAA approved engineer to sign off any work done on it. An Australian LAME won't do for the FAA.

Not only is maintenance to be done by a US authorised engineer, but I think you will find that you need a US pilots certificate. Note it is a certificate, not licence.

I know prior to having it put on the australian register (or for RAA) you need to make sure it is deregistered in the USA. Nev
