Default A logging question

While I was there, I made a short flight up the St. Lawrence with one

what are the rules regarding the time logged under a foreign license?
Can it be applied for requirements for advanced ratings on the US
side? Or does time in a "C-...." only apply for Canadian ratings?


As I see it, the FARs do not specifically disqualify time on a foreign
license for the purpose of ratings; however, time you list for such must
be made with an "authorized instructor", which means someone that holds
a CFI here in the US. Check the Canadian equivalent rules/regs for any
specific references.

However, I believe FAR 91.75 (c) states that ratings earned on a foreign
license may be placed on your US license (while not specifying if
testing is necessary; only in reference "additional ratings"). So, if
you earn a rating on a Canadian PPL, it should be applicable over here
as well.

Was all the time logged in Canadian airspace? If so, it may fall under
that jurisdiction exclusively instead, and apply as time earned on a
foreign (student) license (which can be readily applied in the US).

Thanks for the info and the reference to the FAR which I should have
looked up myself!.

It was all in Canadian airspace. I guess I should have said "... a short
flight _down_ the St. Lawrence ..."
