Yes, that is article 150 of the ANO 2016. The post-2022 version of the ANO calls it “non-Part-21 aircraft”. As I read it, the licence does not even need to be from an ICAO member state.
what is annexe 1 planes?
I believe that, if an easa pilot fly his G reg plane in easa land, UK CAA may not fly to see that guy and ground the plane.
So I asked the question to someone at DGAC and they don’t care if you have a UK PPL, as soon as you fly with an EASA license in EASA land… I have the email :D
Annex 1 is basically homebuilt (Lancair, Vans, etc).
That email is dynamite. It is valuable to you in that the DGAC cannot prosecute you. However, unless French law is radically different to anything else, the DGAC reply does not change French law or EASA FCL regs.
I suspect that the email was written by somebody clueless, but that is not your problem

Aircraft that are not regulated by EASA but by national authorities. Includes ultralights, homebuilts, experimentals, ex-military types (including replicas), historic types (including replicas). Annex 1 is an annex to the EASA Basic Regulation where these categories are listed.

Anything not part 21.
In the case of the UK, the bulk of them are:
Well, there is also CAR3, the predecessor to Part 21, right?
Hi all,
Can anyone confirm current regulations?
I was told by someone it is totally OK to fly a UK registered plane, in EASA member state airspace with an EASA licence. Is this correct?
Lots of the information online is old and refers to the approval letter thing valid before 2023.
Thanks.

I don’t think EASA would mind, but the UK CAA might. You must have a license issued by the state of aircraft registry unless that state has chosen to validate the license.
Validation among EASA member states is automatic. I understand that when the UK left EASA after Brexit the UK CAA decided to automatically validate EASA licenses for a period of time. If that time has expired, then you need to apply for validation with the UK CAA before flying a UK registered plane with an EASA license.

It has – the OP will need a license issued by the UK CAA.
