Do you know an official reference regarding annex 1 on any ICAO PPL? That‘s news to me.
I believe the plane in question is annex 1 ….. it is 1942 vintage and is being operated on a permit to fly. An Aeronca.
For many many years, any G-reg could be flown worldwide on any ICAO PPL, noncommercial VFR, or IFR OCAS on any ICAO IR. IFR OCAS is of course of limited use. These privileges were implicit; no CAA validation needed.
Then c. 2012 Brussels prohibited this, but since Annex 1 were outside their powers, this continued.
IIRC there is more history to this and c. 2015 it came back (for certified types) then was removed again. Like the PMD (self declaration medical) which at one point was available only to NPPL holders and Annex 1 (causing a steep rise in G-reg RV prices) and now is good for the normal PPL and a normal G-reg (drastically reducing AME income).
@tumbleweed and @Qalupalik should know the details.
UK ANO art 150 https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2016/765/article/150
The UK now uses “non-Part 21” to mean Annex I types and the erstwhile EASA types are “Part 21” aircraft.
That’s perfect! Many thanks @Qalupalik.
Yes, BTW I’ve noticed that the UK registration site indeed shows the aircraft in question as non-Part 21.
While validation is automatic, flights outside the UK should carry a certificate of validation. The UK CAA issues these pursuant to art 169 in the ANO. A good starting point is probably to email [email protected].
We also had a thread [ threads merged ] relating to the same question the OP asks, albeit for a homebuilt.
Following this, I had a very recent enquiry by somebody thinking about selling one of his superb UofK registered homebuilt, and I told him I personally advise anyone interested into a G- aircraft to stay at safe distance and not even consider touching it with a stick, so I would certainly not promote his aircraft.
A sad state of affairs really, digging a big all self-induced hole.
In light of the automatic validation of Annex 1 (discussed above) the thread in the above post by Dan was not useful because it failed to mention it! So I merged the two threads.
You can fly a G-reg Annex 1 on any ICAO license, worldwide!
Apparently, based on ANO article 150, I can fly the aircraft within UK airspace with my EASA licence: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2016/765/article/150
Worldwide, actually!
Whether you can park it long term in a given country is a different discussion – search e.g. for “28 days” (with the quotes). I suspect most countries in Europe do not allow long term parking of foreign reg Annex 1 aircraft. UK and France are just 28 days and there will be others.
