Have you 500 hours in multi-pilot operations and a valid multi-pilot type rating?

"Here’s the rule from the UK" That's an incomplete description of the "revalidation by experience" criteria . The criteria are optional. In the alternative, the rating will be revalidated/renewed by passing a proficiency check. Some pilots will do that in combination with the instrument rating profi...

Better hope TC has a specific policy about direct-to-CPL foreign applications... That's not a problem. A strict interpretation will not be applied. The OP will likely never have been issued with a PPL in any case. The exemption NCR-006-2023 allows cat 4 med cert holders to attempt flight tests. Sea...

Dr TA Gillmore in Maple ON holds an authorisation from Transport Malta to perform EASA medical exams. The EASA single-engine piston (land) class rating can be revalidated by experience, though it isn't required for a foreign-based Canadian PPL. The refresher flight with an EASA flight or class ratin...

I agree. Since exercising the privileges of a foreign-based Canadian PPL requires a valid Canadian medical cert., iaw s. 404.03 in the Canadian regulations, it makes absolutely no sense to maintain the foreign medical.

"I need to keep my EASA License valid - it means traveling to Europe for medical renewal etc." I've been told the opposite by a Transport GA Safety Officer specialising in licensing. In extremis, an EASA medical can be revalidated/renewed in the States and the SEP can be revalidated by experience. W...

"if you flew from Buffalo to Detroit through Canada, you technically need a radio certificate issued by the FCC, even though it's rarely enforced." Notwithstanding 47 CFR 87.89(d)(4) in the US regulations it seems that a Canadian citizen holding only an ROC-A, rather than the FCC equivalent, might b...

That restriction applies to US pilot certificates issued in pursuance of 14 CFR 61.75. These certificates can be identified by the term "foreign based" in section IX.

AuxBatOn, "if you need a logbook, you need to log every flight" That conclusion cannot validly be drawn from paragraph 2 of 401.08. The paragraph states as: "A personal log that is maintained for the purposes referred to in paragraphs (1)(a) and (b) ..." Paragraph 1 only creates an obligation to rec...

Are you confusing a practical convenience with a legal obligation?

Sure, it was in Heathrow, but pilots do tend to fly internationally. No requirement for a licence holder flying internationally to carry a personal log. Para 10.3.1 in ICAO Doc 9379 (Manual of Procedures for Establishment and Management of a States Personnel Licensing System) Recency requirements a...

The testing standards, training philosophies, and experience requirements differ sufficiently between EASA and FAA to make concurrent certification/licensing a waste of time and money for someone who ultimately wants Canadian and EASA licences. Use the Canada–US BASA–IPL if you want a US airman cert...

Purely out of curiosity, is there a reason to do this when the regulation does not require it?

The giving of flying instruction within Canada to a person pursuing a PPL (A/H) in an aeroplane obtained by that person from a flight instructor, at arm's length, who does not operate under an FTU operator certificate. 406.03(2)(b)(iii) covers only training that "is other than toward obtaining a pil...

"...instrument hours gained in the [US] do not qualify for hours against [a] CPL rating."
