EAA and AOPA claim to have info on this stuff. It is pretty spotty. The FAA web site does as well. (Getting a Cuban overflight permit is well documented on the FAA site and was actually trivial. I sent an email with all the required info to Cuba and got an email back with permission and an ID number.)

 

The Bahamas requires a copy of a standard letter see: http://www.bahamas.com/assets/content/pdf/Validation%20of%20EXPERIMENTAL%20C%20of%20A.pdf?sectionid=228329&level=2

 

I also did my homework for the British Virgin Islands. Eventually got on the phone with the head of civil aviation there. After I asked him what paperwork he wanted for me to fly my Experimental IV-P to the BVI. His comment was “There is no impediment to flying your aircraft in the BVI.”  I filed the details with the AOPA and EAA who were not helpful in telling me what I needed to do.

 

I don’t know what the Turks and Cacos require, could be important as Provo is a good fuel stop on the way to the BVI or Puerto Rico.

What issues exist flying a Lancair internationally compared to a normally certificated a/c?  If someone wanted to hop around the Caribbean would the experimental status of the plane be a problem?

 

Thanks,

Andrew
