Re: Amateur Built - Paperwork after 25hr fly off

Can I also request to remove the VFR day, and add "VFR night" at the same time?

Amateur Built - Paperwork after 25hr fly off

Those that built their airplane and did the 25hr fly off. Little stuck on the application for C of A (24-0043). What do I put in Block A - 8? and what do I check in Block B? On the MD-RA site, the last step is Letter requesting issue of Modified Operating Conditions. Do we just write something, or i...

Re: Amputee PPL

I'm actually a below knee amp, and I had to supply a bit more information during the medical, but all is well. Not to many hoops to 'jump' through as I feared. My instructors did a first flight to 'see' how things would go and if we had to do anything. The only tiny critic was, riding the brake sinc...

Re: Airplane stuck in the states

molsonb Now that more of your story is known. If your kit plane is finished it will require an “N” registration. You will need an FAA pilot certificate to fly it in US airspace (or someone with an FAA certificate) to get it to the border. You can’t put a Canadian registration on it until all duties...

Re: Airplane stuck in the states

molsonb This isn’t a great place to ask this kind of complicated question. Expect opinion rather than an accurate answer. Firstly, there is a story. Secondly, there are the facts. Your question is pretty barren as far as the facts are concerned. 1. Is the aircraft Canadian registered? 2. Is the air...

Re: Airplane stuck in the states

The self quarantine for 14 days is not a problem. Living in the country, it's not much different. This is crazy, how have I not heard in the news you can fly, but you can't drive. I knew some people who went to Vegas for 'medical reasons' and flew, but I wasn't going to lie to go get my plane. Wow, ...

Airplane stuck in the states

This might be a silly question, but I'm wondering if anyone else has their personal airplane stuck in the states during this Covid ordeal. There's no ways around traveling to get it back? I've just been paying hanger fees to keep it stored until the borders open up. Sucks, would of been a good summe...

Re: Requesting special marks

Ah well that's not very 'special' then. At least with the MTO license plates, you can have some fun!
I'll go look in the available markings and go pick something out.

Thank you for the clarification.

Requesting special marks

When requesting plane markings, you have the option to apply for special marks (builders choice).

Can they be anything, like my name "MATT", or do you still have to start with F or G ?

Re: Getting PIC hours/ratings in USA

Thank you very one of your responses. A little bit of background, I have my private and looking to get some ratings on it. I'll be in the states for 4 months, so I want to continue to fly and gain experience. I'll have to get my FAA conversion license to fly N reg planes, correct. Ok sounds like I c...

Getting PIC hours/ratings in USA

Does anyone know (or has done this), where you are in the USA for a few months to hide from the miserable Canadian winter and would like to continue to fly and get a rating (night, IFR, high-performance, etc)? Would you have to get the equivalent FAA license first, then rating? Or can it count towar...

Re: Covert FAA Instrument rating to canadian one

I was wondering this too. I'll be in the states for a few months this winter and would like to get my IFR/Night rating. Sounds like I can get it in the states and convert it over to Canadian afterwards. Or even gather up the hours in the states with an instructor and just do the flight tests back ho...
