So it's more the operator then the individual?
Consider Ar China on JFK kinda thing but this time a U.S. Operator in China.
The FAA will not inforce a Foreign rule, got that but what about not abiding by an ATC clearance ( in Australia) which is the same rule as under FAR's.
The way I understand it is every ICAO nation needs to abide by ICAO regulations, however individual nations can file for an enhanced or stricter rule or additional rules on top of the original one.
As in you can go stricter then ICAO agreed but not more lenient.
So in the case of a violation of the same rule, albeit in foreign airspace, will the FAA actively seek certificate action?
Are we globally under FAA jurisdiction and therefore open to certificate action because we fly a N-reg under an FAA issued air carrier certificate?
Will the FAA charge you with violation of 91.703 if you get dinged in Sandystan?
Am I chasing my own tail here?
What am I missing?
