Under ICAO rules, a pilot wishing to operate an aircraft which has a different State of Registry to the state that issued that pilot’s licence, must have a validation from the relevant authorities.

This means that flight crew carrying a non-UK CAA licence, issued by Switzerland, who operate UK-registered aircraft must carry a ‘general validation’ with their licence. This is issued by the UK CAA and is valid for two years under UK law.
