Private Pilot may operate as a required crew member when more than one crew member is required, at least in the United States. Template:Ungfgfsigned2

This article in its current form is extremely US-centric, both in terms of citation of US FARs, and the description of the process. Some ideas on headings for a rewrite:

• What is a PPL
• Who issues them
• How to get a PPL
• What you can do with a PPL.

Agree completely. I'll have a go.BaseTurnComplete 21:34, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] US-Centric?

To try to create a single article about the term Private Pilot without distinguishing the country is a total waste of time. If you want to go at it from an international standpoint, fine, make the few generalizations that you can, then either subdivide it into country-specific topics, or better yet, link to country-specific pages like the ones that were apparently deleted below.

[edit] N-registered airplane in EASA airspace

Does anybody know whether it´s legal to fly N-registered planes with an EASA-complaint license in EASA airspace (at least for some countries)? I know for instance that it´s legal to fly those planes with a german (EASA-) license in german airspace but what about flying into third nations airspace? 84.173.245.92 16:09, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

There is no straight answer. You need to check whether the FAA will allow you to fly the aircraft on an EASA license, and you need to check the airspace regulations of that third country to see if they allow it. - crazyscot 10:25, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
