ECAC Status for homebuilt / experimental (flight privileges within Europe)

Peter wrote:

What Germany does allow is a foreign reg homebuilt to be based there, for 180 days, and then you can renew for another 180 days, etc. VFR only.

That’s incorrect, Peter. Homebuilts are NOT limited to VFR in Germany, provided the aircraft doesn’t have such limitation in its permit. In contrast there is a limitation to VFR day in the general entry permission for ECAC homebuilts (issued back in the year 1985). As this doesn’t make any sense even for the Luftfahrtbundesamt they are working on a revision.

Bulgaria is PPR → [email protected]
Spain is PNR not PPR, which does make a difference

Poland

So you agree with me

Q: what’s the point?
a legal analysis or a practical guidance?

Re: Spain – I think it depends on the country your are coming from, UK requires PPR now, apparently.

The former.

The latter is “you just fly because nobody checks” but this thread is not about that. We would need a new thread with a name like “how to dodge the regulations and not get caught”. Feel free to start one; it is a good topic.

let’s agree to disagree
the people who fly IFR in German airspace on “homebuilts” I was referring to in my previous post, are not taking chances, that I know for sure

Poland

Super useful, thanks @juze !
I believe that all experimental associations (RSA for France, EAS for CH, LAA for UK… and EFLEVA at EU level) would be glad to communicate this to their members as none really managed to maintain an up-to-date listing of the current status.
