Using Foreign Registered Aircraft for Flying Training in the UK

Foreign registered aircraft may only to be used for flying training in the UK if the flying instructor does not receive valuable consideration for his services or permission has been obtained from the Secretary of States under article 140 of the Air Navigation Order 2005. Flying training includes any flights with instructors which are necessary to maintain the validity of a licence. Aircraft registered in a UK Dependant Territory are not considered to be foreign aircraft for the purposes of article 140.

Permission for flying training will normally be given only to the owners of the aircraft concerned or to any pilot employed by the owner to fly the aircraft on their behalf. If the aircraft is owned by a Trust permission may be given to the trustor. If the trustor is a group or company permission may be given to members of that group or Directors if the number of members or Directors is no more than four. Permission will normally be given for a fixed period up to a maximum of 12 months in duration. Permission will not be granted beyond the validity of the certificate of insurance or the certificate of airworthiness.
