Plus if your glider has a German (LBA) type certificate, and you have a copy of it, it might be valid in Canada period. It would be worth checking out with Transport Canada.



NO - this is not correct!

The minute you register your glider as experimental in the US, it may not fly in Canadian Airspace without the specific approval of Transport Canada.

However, a US glider certificated under a normal Certificate of Airworthiness may be flown in Canada without any requirement to contact Transport Canada.

Any aircraft with an Experimental flight permit is considered, by Transport Canada, to be amateur-built and must comply with all the rules of a homebuilt prior to flight in Canada.
