If the KA has auto feather, it won’t AFX unless the power levers are up. Max power, positive rate, gear up confirm failed, feathered. Climb to 400 or 1000’ then do the drill. Squeeze, freeze, 8 degrees. Rudder to centre ball , lock it in, 8 degrees nose up

Re: When Albert separate, will it keep Canadian licensing or go the FAA route?

So to get back to the original question, that of licensing. For aircrew, both Canada and the US have process in place to validate an aircrew license for a foreigner, those processes wouldn't go away.

The ATR would suck for scooping. #1 power to weight ratio, #2 drag from floats,#3 stall speed, #4 extra weight of float and attach fittings
