A logging question

Hi all. I've been reading this group for a while, but this is my first
post here.

I have a US PPL, and I travel to Montreal frequently on business. I
went over to the Montreal Flying Club at St. Hubert last week to see
about flying in Canada. Evidently, under reciprocal agreements, I can
easily get a Canadian license. Basically all I need are a Canadian
medical and a short written test.

While I was there, I made a short flight up the St. Lawrence with one
of their instructors. I did all the flying, but I have logged it as
dual, but of course the tail number is a "C-....". The question is,
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?

Also, if I were to get a Canadian license, then a seaplane rating on
it, for example, would the seaplane rating apply for my US license?
Can I get both upgraded at the same time?

By the way, if you are ever in Montreal, I can highly recommend a stop
by the Montreal Flying Club at St. Hubert airport on the south shore.
Very nice folks and very well maintained aircraft. Also a very nice
little airport.

Regards,
Austin

You need to arise about two in the morning and get your gear set up so
that you can begin at first light. Be sure that you knock off by noon or
the forest will be too dry and present a fire hazard.

Oh, you meant a different kind of logging...

If you get the seaplane rating on your Canadian license, you just go to
an American FSDO and apply for a new certificate. The reciprocal
agreements apply both ways. The time you fly in a Candadian aircraft
applies for advanced ratings in the US.

Further questions probably should be directed to the FSDO as to the
actual mechanics of it.

I'm a lumberjack, and I'm OK, I work all night and I sleep all day ...
Oh, not that kind of logging

Thanks for the info.

A certificate [license] issued on the basis of a US
certificate in Canada would have the same ratings that are
on the certificate you hold. It cannot be amended. It will
probably be limited to non-commercial operations [if based
on a commercial].
You can get a full license in the USA or Canada, using
experience from one or both countries and that license can
be amended only by a Form 8710, instructor sign off and
flight test. But the hours and such can be counted.
For example, if you have a US CP ASEL and go to Canada, they
can issue a license based on the commercial you hold with
those same rating and it will probably have the
limitation --Private privileges only--.
If you want a seaplane rating, you need to get a complete
issue of a Canadian license or take your flight test from a
USA CFI [who could be in Canada]. Once your base license is
amended, you can get a new --based on-- license with the new
ratings.


Canada can't amend a USA certificate and the USA can't amend
a Canadian certificate.
