Are there different requirements for airplanes that fly in just the USA than those that fly into other countries?


Maybe Mopar Scott knows.

Nothing Exactly. I guess just a vague answer would do.


In regaurds to safety standards, maintenance schedules, equiptment standards, etc......


I guess just any major differences.


It's just one of those things I have always wondered about.

there is a certain certification that an aircraft need to no longer be 'experimental.' until the plane gets that certification the plane is ruled and regulated as an 'experimental' aircraft. in other countries the FAA does no regulate what kind of aircraft flies.

Fly and try not to crash is probably the biggest rule.

seeing as I think I am the only certified pilot on BCM.... I try and answer this one. As far as I know, the FAA does not have set standards for airlines based in other countries. There are suggestions for the way things should be, but no set rules. Most large airlines of the world do follow similar standards, but the smaller no name airlines usually do not. The same holds true for Private jets, there is no set rules on maintence or safety issues. There is however very basic rules that apply to any airplane used for hire. There are certain items that must work and be inspected regularly or the certification of that airplane will be void until it is fixed. There are also routine inspections that must be done. These are very basic and check sturctural integrity, and operation of the most important thing like landing gear, lights, controls, etc....
Airlines in the US have quite strict rules and standards that must be met. That is why many people turn to the private jet becasue it is more laid back in rules and regulations.

I'm assuming you're asking about safety requirements. The FAA regulates ALL civil aviation in US airspace. If you're flying in the US you fall under FAA regs. http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/


Safety Regulation

We issue and enforce regulations and minimum standards covering manufacturing, operating, and maintaining aircraft. We certify airmen and airports that serve air carriers.
