Nov 8, 2015 at 17:31 comment added Kevin Fegan @reirab - Sorry, the context for my comment was related to the faa-regulations tagging of the question, which has now been removed.
Nov 7, 2015 at 21:20 comment added reirab @KevinFegan How is that related to the question? As far as I know, the pilots were Swiss, French, and Emirati, not American. As far as the jurisdiction of the FAA over American pilots/aircraft outside of U.S. airspace that probably would indeed make one (or two) good questions (which I might already exist... I can't remember.) The short answer, though, is "somewhat" in both cases.
Nov 7, 2015 at 16:36 comment added Kevin Fegan @reirab - Does the US FAA have "jurisdiction" over a pilot licensed in the US even while that pilot is flying outside of US airspace. In other words, could a US licensed pilot be sanctioned for breaking FAA rules (or some particular FAA rules) while flying outside of US jurisdiction (airspace)? (Perhaps this too should be a a separate question, but it strongly relates to the OP question, and your previous comment).
Nov 6, 2015 at 21:08 comment added reirab @Michael Sounds like a good question. :)
Nov 6, 2015 at 21:06 comment added Michael @reirab That was my thought too, but I was struggling to see where it would be fitted... under the wing in the center maybe? Even then, what happens to the wing and engines, are they disposable or do they have to preserve those for the next flight?
Nov 6, 2015 at 21:01 comment added reirab @Lucky The FAA is the US agency responsible for aviation regulations in the U.S. Other countries have their own similar agencies with their own sets of regulations and jurisdictions. These types of agencies are usually called "civil aviation authorities" or CAAs.

Nov 6, 2015 at 20:52 comment added Michael Those were your first questions? My first question was, "How do they land?"

Nov 6, 2015 at 13:23 comment added mins At this low speed, the angle of attack should be high, and air turbulent. I doubt they are close to the plane, The camera angles and lens may provide a false feeling of proximity. Even the two men may not be close to each other to prevent them for being injured by their jet. I would be curious of further details.

Nov 6, 2015 at 11:43 comment added David Richerby @Lucky No, of course not. That's exactly what "out of US jurisdiciton" means!
Nov 6, 2015 at 10:50 comment added Lucky @DavidRicherby So "faa-regulations" won't be applicable, if aircraft flying out of USA jurisdiction?
Nov 6, 2015 at 10:47 comment added David Richerby Given that this stunt was performed far from the jurisdiction of the US Federal Aviation Administration, I'm not sure why it's tagged "faa-regulations". Are you asking what regulations would cover a similar stunt in US airspace or is the question mis-tagged?
