LineUpAndWeight : could you expand on "qualifying flight" ? regarding a US GPP transferred to a Canadian GPP, in the email TC said I must meet "all of the experience requirements for a GPP listed in CAR 421.20(4)." So I think that means the US experience needs to include everything I'd do in Canada ...

LineUpAndWeight You are correct, but the airplane and helicopter instructors would need 10 hours on the type. So if I imported something, I'd have to find someone willing to do the 10 hours on my craft before they taught me.

So can I fly something I haven't been taught in?

Thanks CLF, there is a lot wrapped up in your post that I don't fully understand since I am new to the whole flying thing.

I will attempt to solve the riddle.
I wouldn't object to conversing elsewhere. My user name is my real name and fairly unique.

Can someone explain how there are gyrocopter in Canada but no instructors for them? How do they train to fly them if there are no CFIs? For example I see RAF 2000 gyros for sale but no CFIs for them. If I wanted to buy and train on a type where there is no CFI in Canada, is there a way to do that? I...
