![]() "Sylvain" wrote in message ... snip In the case you describe, you have a US PPL, you were flying a whatever registered aircraft, I imagine a single engine land for which you are rated on your US certificate, and were (I presume) the sole manipulator of the controls: as far as the FAA is concerned, you log this flight as PIC, whether there was an instructor on board or not and regardless of the registration of the aircraft; The proper authority for flight operations in Canada is the CARs, which are the Canadian equivalent of the US FARs. The CARs are available on line http://www.tc.gc.ca/civilaviation/re.../cars/menu.htm but are hard to navigate and it is often difficult to find the proper section. IIRC and AFAIK, You must have a Canadian licence or permit in order to ACT as PIC of a C-registered aircraft, and similarly you must have a US certificate or ??? to ACT as PIC of an N registered aircraft. see CARs 401.03(1) http://www.tc.gc.ca/CivilAviation/Re...401.htm#401_03 see also CARs 401.07(1) on the same page. The holder of (only) a Canadian licence or permit is NOT permitted to act as PIC of any non C-registered aircraft, see CARs 401.04 The validation of foreign licences is covered in CARs 421.07 http://www.tc.gc.ca/CivilAviation/Re...ndards/421.htm and see also CARs Division VI 421.26 (6) (b) Transport Canada (TC) does not use the 'sole manipulator of the controls' terminology, so while you MAY be able to log this flight as PIC for FAA purposes, you would not be able to ACT as PIC (or fly solo) or claim the time as PIC for Transport Canada purposes. If the person ACTING as PIC is a TC certified instructor then you could log the time as dual instruction received but if the person ACTING as PIC is not a CFI then you could not claim dual and would be considered to be acting as a passenger even if you were the sole manipulator. Strictly speaking, an instructors certificate is not required to give instruction for a float endorsement (IIRC, Some ATPL or CPL with the proper type and class ratings may give instruction for type and class to properly (Canadian) licenced pilots, who may claim flight as either PIC and/or dual instruction received) see CARs Division III 425.21 (6) & (7) http://www.tc.gc.ca/CivilAviation/Re...425.htm#425_21 Many (most?) float plane instruction is not given by CFI instructors. There is a requirement for some solo time (Canadian Licence or permit required) and TO/landing cycles, see CARs Division X 421.38 (1) http://www.tc.gc.ca/CivilAviation/Re...s/421.htmAFAIK it is not difficult or expensive ($25?) to obtain a Canadianvalidation of a US airman's certificate and does not require a Canadianmedical (there are some conditions). I have been told that this validationprocess is much easier for USCanadian than for CanadianUS (since 911) andthat today it is almost impossible to obtain a US validation for a CanadianCPL, at one time these validations were permanent (subject to validity oforiginal licence) but now are issued for a 5? year term. YMMVGood luck & Happy landings, |
