    $\begingroup$ @ratchetfreak Well I suppose you could answer that to just about any question that starts with "Can a pilot...", but that's not really what I'm asking about here. I'm wondering whether someone with an MPL (according to the ICAO standard) could fly SIC on a regularly-scheduled airline flight into the U.S. (which has no such thing as an MPL,) not whether they could divert to the U.S. in an emergency situation. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ The questions you linked to deal with operating aircraft registered in the destination country. While the ICAO rule you quote covers flying aircraft registered in your country. So those pilots can fly to and from US with aircraft registered in their countries, but not fly aircraft registered in the USA. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ If your license and registration are from the same country, then that country's licensing rules apply in any ICAO member state that you fly to, rather than those of the country you're in. It's only when you mix countries that things get weird. $\endgroup$
