Yes.....anyday, in fact even the boss agrees.

Whatever - we eventually got an approved/registered SMS, its not hard to do on your own if you have some time, its a good way to review/create good SOPs....I'm not against it, just dont kid yourself with the "impounding" garbage.

Sounds like NBAA Airmail/internet forum clowntalk fueled by SMS "consultants"

I've seen US Military planes impounded in Spain and heard of civil planes impounded for tax reasons in Europe. Anything's possible.

well OK, pay your taxes?...if one plans on flying EU citizens around its understood you should certainly go through the importation process. We dont so we dont import our planes.

But back to fear mongering...please let us know when an N-registered airplane gets "impounded" anywhere for the lack of an SMS.
