Re: Import aircraft for owner maintenance category questions
Another option is to make the necessary repairs in the United States and have your uncle's wife register it in the United States. Fly it to Canada, pay GST/HST on its value, and operate it that way. It's similar to a trust. You would have to get an FAA validation, but that's a simple paperwork exer...

Re: CAME's that will complete telehealth or virtual assessments
Dr. Gilmore in Vaughn will do them (he's been doing them since last year). He's also very reasonable in price.

Re: FL430 for commercial airliners
Because 430 isn't an RVSM altitude. You would need a block altitude to operate at FL430.

Re: Converting TC SMEL MIFR CPL to FAA License
Unless you have a 4 year degree or some sort of US status, there's little chance. If you do have a 4 year degree, apply to a University if they're willing to hire you as an instructor/teacher under a TN status. It must be a university, not a uni affiliated Part 141 school.

Re: Mandatory PCR Test and 3 Day Hotel Quarantine
I know of two people who flew their planes down to FL as they do every year. I wonder how/if these new rules will affect them. it probably doesn't since crew are exempt from quarantine.

Re: Flight schools and their status?
Seems at least in Ontario, if the school offers commercial pilot licenses, they can't offer private instruction since they're regulated by the Private Careers Colleges Act, but small schools that only offer private instruction can do whatever they would like since they are not regulated by the provi...

Re: Yukon charter operator
I don't get why they didn't fly to California or Florida or somewhere that would have given them the jab without any sort of fraud like this situation? Thet obvious have the means to pay for their vaccine.

Re: Moving to the US
There's still a lot more jobs down south, and regionals are started to recall everyone (some are even hiring). I'd wager that you'll fly sooner and make more money than if you stuck around here. If you managed to get your ATP on your own (the process is easier than if you had the CTP and exams done ...

Re: VFR flights to Cuba
There's a few companies in the US (including fltplan.com) who can arrange the permit. Alternatively, you can arrange the permit yourself. Don't forget to give an ETA update to Havana Center before entering their airspace as well as Miami on the way back (ADIZ stuff). I've only flown in on a 705 jet,...

US Travel Ban
Looks like Biden is doubling down on Trump's travel ban and implementing mandatory quarantines upon arrival in the US. No word on how long or how it will be implemented. No news on whether it applies to flight crew or "essential workers." I'd expect the DHS to announce regulations in the n...

Re: Pre-departure COVID-19 testing and negative results to be required for all air travelers coming to Canada
There is no requirement to be tested or quarantine if you're a crew on an airplane, whether that's a Boeing 787 or a Cessna 172. CBSA may try to argue with you, but the OIC is pretty clear that a "crew member" as defined in the CARs is exempt.

Re: Foreign Airlines take CEWS
As much as I'm not a fan of corporate welfare, nearly 100% of this money would have been spent on EI. This is literally "EI" administered by the employee's company vs the federal government. It's a crying shame the Liberals are using this as an excuse for an "aid package." Sure f...

Re: ADSB diversity update?
The problem with the TailbeaconX is that while uAvionix claims that it will soon be TSO and meets all the performance requirements for NavCanada / Aireon, it isn't yet compatible with any sort of legal installation in Canada. There are dozens of Canadian registered aircraft flying around with these...
