US pilot flying a Canadian registered plane
If I go to Canada and fly a Canadian registered plane, can I fly it in
Canada on my US license? Can I bring it back into the US (say I buy it), can I fly it in the US? Anyone have any experience with getting a Canadian registered plane registered in the US? I suspect it is quite hard now, especially with the beef embargo, wood embargo and general uptight trade with Canada, but Canadian planes do seem to be a bit less than US ones, about 20%. |

I suspect it is quite hard now, especially with the beef embargo, wood embargo and general uptight trade with Canada, So much for NAFTA, huh? Unless that was supposed to stand for No Actual Free Trade Agreement... I don't think you'll have a problem; I know that just last week our flying club sold our Tampico to a guy from Florida, who flew it home. (Cool trip!) It left here still wearing it's Canadian reg, and will get N-numbers in Florida. Phone a Canadian flight school & ask them, or phone Transport Canada directly. Transport's got half a dozen regional offices across the country; if you can't find info on the internet email me privately and I'll get a number from the AIP.

m... If I go to Canada and fly a Canadian registered plane, can I fly it in Canada on my US license? You cannot fly it in Canada with only your US Certificate/Medical. http://www.tc.gc.ca/aviation/regserv...01e.htm#401_03 CAR 401.03(1) No person shall act as a flight crew member or exercise the privileges of a flight crew permit, licence or rating or a foreign licence validation certificate unless (a) subject to subsection (2) and sections 401.19 to 401.27, the person is the holder of, and can produce while so acting and while exercising those privileges, the appropriate permit, licence or rating and a valid and appropriate medical certificate; or (b) the person is the holder of, and can produce while so acting and while exercising those privileges, an appropriate foreign licence validation certificate. But you can get a 'validation' based on a foreign licence' (the US is a 'contracting state'): http://www.tc.gc.ca/aviation/regserv...01e.htm#401_03 CAR 401.07(1) Subject to section 6.71 of the Act, if the holder of a foreign flight crew licence issued by a contracting state other than Canada meets the applicable requirements set out in the personnel licensing standards and is not a permanent resident of Canada, the Minister shall, on receipt of an application submitted in the form and manner set out in those standards, issue a foreign licence validation certificate. (2) The Minister shall, in accordance with the personnel licensing standards, specify in a foreign licence validation certificate the privileges that may be exercised by the holder of the certificate. You can fly a US-Registered aircraft in Canada with your US Certificate/Medical (if you could fly it in the US with them): CAR 401.04 No person shall act as a flight crew member or exercise the privileges of a flight crew licence in Canada in an aircraft registered in a contracting state other than Canada, unless the person holds, and can produce while so acting or while exercising such privileges, (a) a flight crew permit or licence issued under this Subpart; or (b) a flight crew licence, or a document equivalent to a foreign licence validation certificate, that is issued under the laws of the contracting state. You can fly a Canadian registered aircraft in the US with just your US Certificate/Medical, though: http://www.landings.com/evird.acgi?p...ase=NO&word=NO FAR Section 375.21: Airmen. Members of the flight crew of a foreign civil aircraft shall have in their personal possession valid airman certificates or licenses authorizing them to perform their assigned functions in the aircraft and for the operation involved issued or rendered valid by the country of registry of the aircraft or by the United States. No such flight crew members shall perform any flight duty within the United States that they are not currently authorized to perform in the country issuing or validating the certificate. |

" US? Anyone have any experience with getting a Canadian registered plane registered in the US? First the Canadian registration is cancelled, and US registration is issued. The plane must pass the mother of all conformity inspections. It must conform to the type certificate in all aspects. All modifications, major repairs, must have 337s to cover them. That means if there is an old repair the inspector must insure that it conforms to our standards and fill out a 337 to cover it. Likewise any modifications must be covered with paper. All ADs current and documented Then the plane must pass an annual inspection. If all goes well, an airworthiness certificate is issued. My recent experience concerns the registration of Canadian Ercoupe in seemingly good condition that $7000.00 later was flying here in the US. The owner is a friend of mine. Cheers: Paul NC2273H |

Cheers: Paul NC2273H I wonder how long you could fly it in the US while still foreign registered. Could you have maintenance in Canada, but keep it in the US? Could a US A&P perform the maintenance in the US?? Harvey |

Could a US A&P perform the maintenance in the US?? Yup. You can legally have minor or major maintenance performed on a C-reg in the USA, including major engine, prop and airframe overhauls. Fill out the 337 as usual, lord knows what the FAA does with it in OKC :-) However, an FAA A&P/IA CANNOT sign off an annual inspection on a C-reg, which is kind of silly, given the above, and that the requirements for an annual inspection for a C-reg are all on the web - it's not like they're a big secret. -- ATP www.pittspecials.com |
