Hi,
My biennial expired, and my plane in Florida. Looking to do some (unplanned) flying in 3 weeks time in an N reg…
Anyone know an instructor with access to a plane (any single will do) in Belgium, northern France or southern UK who might be available?
Cheers, Sam.

Marc oliver Mehu is excellent
Where are you based?
You don’t need an N-reg plane for a BFR. It can be done in any reg and in anybody’s airspace, worldwide.
Whether the flight is legal is a given airspace is another matter
In the UK it is legal (in an N-reg) if no payment is made for the flight, otherwise you need CAA permission (about GBP 70 last I heard) and the permission is given only to aircraft owners, with some other conditions. If done in a G-reg that’s fine but the FAA CFI quite possibly has no European papers so cannot act as a PIC anywhere in Europe, so the LHS needs to have sufficient papers to be PIC (e.g. to have an EASA PPL).

Lewis Kennington based in Yorkshire can do it and his charges are very reasonable.
This is outside your geographical scope, but if all else fails, Michael Ladstätter in LOWI who can do it.
Thanks for the answers.
My EASA CPL is fully valid and legal – so PIC of a European machine is not a problem.
Brussels (and Kent for next 2 weeks) based…
Cheers, Sam.

I did a BFR in a G-reg – but in my case, my last BFR hadn’t expired yet so I was PIC and the FAA-rated instructor didn’t have to be.
