At the moment, you just keep it on the N-Register, or Isle of Man or similar. Only when the “dual papers” law finally stops being postponed, the pilot will need bot EASA and FAA licences and ratings if the operator of the aircraft is based in the EU.
Take it easy. Flying a plane of which only one exists concerns 0.001% of the pilots. You can’t expect a rule for every exception.

This is going to be fun for types that are rare in Europe. Both the instructor and the examiner must be rated on the type, and they can only train/examine in the country where their licence has been issued unless they also have FAA certificates.
I don’t even understand how they do it on a Do-24 (D-CIDO). First of all, where do you get an EASA multi engine sea rating? I’ve not been able to find a single place. Second of all, how do you get a type rating in a plane that there exists one of only?
Madness. Idiotic rules.

Cheers Peter, good info.
I got this from a bizjet pilot friend who seems to know it well:
Sorry to resurrect an old thread but…..
Has anybody been able to get a third-country type rating added to an EASA license with <500 hours on type?
Looking at the N reg B200 / DHC6 scenario where there is no equivalent FAA type?
Once I pass the skills test and get my EASA ATPL issued I understand that all I need to keep it up is a yearly EASA recurrent in type, is this correct?
As far as I know, check flight with authorized examiner is needed.
I am undergoing conversion FAA - EASA ATPL and as mentioned I have to do 14 exams and once I have passed them undergo a skills test in the aircraft I'm rated in with 500+ hrs.
I am interested and trying to work out what I have to do once I have the ATPL.

1st hit
Now the 2nd hit, of course!
You and Neil are right, and I'd missed that. I'm not entirely sure what it enables, but it doesn't seem to help the BE90 issue.
