A number of us flying YAK 50's and 52's on Russian RA registers( in Europe)  have been advised that we can no longer stay on such and I was wondering what other owner/operators are doing about this and what might be the best and most economical register to go on...I thought of the N reg but not sure if its possible because I believe the 50 is operated on some sort of experimental class in the States so cannot be done...I looked at UK but that seemed very complicated and expensive....

Any information please

This is a complex topic with which we have been working for many years.

Americans are exceedingly lucky to be able to have a genuine "experimental"

register on which to operate such aircraft.



The main issues are:



The Yak 50 and 52 are not certificated aircraft, and as such cannot get a

normal category certificate of airworthiness.



The problem with the Russian registration which we and many of our customers

have used for over 15 years is simply that they gave normal category

certificates to these aircraft, which are not certificated, so you can see

the position of our different aviation administrations when they say they

will not accept the Russian paperwork.



So, for a non-certificated aircraft, it is up to the country in which it

flies to issue appropriate paperwork. The problem is that, even in Europe,

there is absolutely no uniformity about this, and each country has different

legislation. To be specific, some will issue appropriate paperwork for yak

50 and 52 and others will not.



Importantly, whatever paperwork is obtained for such an aircraft, it is only

valid in the country of issue. That is, a US "experimental unquote aircraft

has paperwork only valid in the USA, although it can fly in other countries

but only with the specific permission of the local CAA, and that will not

always be given.



So, within Portugal, your first approach must be to go to your local CAA;

explain that these aircraft are flown safely throughout the world and in

many European countries; you should examine your local aviation law to see

what rights you have to fly non-certificated aircraft - for example home

built; "warbirds" etc. It is quite likely there is a specific category that

will include these Yaks. For example, within the UK, we are allowed to fly

them because we were able to persuade our CAA that they are "ex-military".



As you say, an avenue with UK CAA is complex and expensive, but you might

like to consider it, but remember that a UK "permit to fly" - i.e.

"experimental" is only valid in Portugal with the formal permission from

Portuguese CAA.



I hope this helps!
