Originally published at: Italy Seizes Foreign-Registered GA Aircraft
European GA groups say N-registered and other foreign aircraft are facing increased scrutiny from Italian financial authorities.
If you’re flying from Italy to the U.S. on Alitalia, it might not be wise to buy a round trip ticket.
A friend who is a German Citizen with a Cessna based in Germany says that keeping the US regestration on his airplane means he needs to comply with US/FAA requirements.
Those are less restrictive than having the same aircraft with german regestry.
Follow the $$$
Aha, yes, the “European Model” that the FAA wants to emulate, if “We the People” would just get out of their way.
Obviously. The U.S. registry is still an attractive one, although other registries such as Bermuda, Cayman Islands, San Marino and other registries have become attractive to corporate jets, especially those who are concerned about being identified as an “American aircraft” when operating overseas.
