Any Canadian Operators flying N reregistered aircraft?

[ThunderRobo]

Hey AvCanada!

I was just wondering if anyone knows of any Canadian Operators that flies N reregistered aircrafts.

The only place I know of is the Dive operation out of Baldwin, but I think they're covered for the rest of the season.

I'm asking because I'm a Canadian citizen with all my FAA ratings waiting for my FAA - TC conversions (~3 month process) but would like to get my career going in Canada.

Thanks in advance!

Edmonton skydive uses only N registered planes.

Thank you kind sir! I'll look into that!

They're not looking for anybody, and are about to close up for the season. Maybe try next year? Although I doubt just having an FAA licence will give you much of an edge. They tend to use the same guys year to year.

Aha alright!

Hopefully I'll have my Canadian ATPL for the spring.

Anyone else know of anyone operating N tailed aircrafts?

Nice try.

Fact is, once an American Registered Aircraft is outside the USA
it is no longer subject to the jurisdiction of the USA with respect
to pilot licensing, it becomes the problem of the country where
the aircraft is.

Now, the country where the aircraft is, may have its own rules

requiring the pilot to be locally licensed or, to have the FAA license.

Canada as far as I know does not require a pilot flying a N tail
to have a US license, but that flight can't be to or from or enter
the USA.

Then there is the ownership.

American corporations are set up to enable American registered aircraft
to spend years in other countries.

While you can fly it in Canada without a bi-annual or an ifr proficiency check,
you had better have that on your FAA license before you cross the border.

I went to a lot of effort and money to get my FAA CFI-ii-me and it has not generated
a single hour of work but it could be different for others.

Hmm thanks for your input, good points but I'm not sure if that's entirely true.

There have been job ads from Canadian operators who specially require pilots to hold FAA ratings to operate N-aircraft in Canada. They've got to be asking for the FAA ratings for some reason!

Just thought I'd use the wonderful resource that is Avcanada to get a head start here at home is all! I've got a C208 / C402 gig state side but would gladly take a step back from my career to be at home with my family right now.

I'm sorry to hear that your instructor ratings hasn't paid off yet, let me know if you're looking for a CFI gig, I know of a few places desperate for good instructors right now. If you're not at that stage of your career anymore, then congrats!

No, that's definitely not true. If it were, every time a Canadian aircraft left the country it would be subject to the licencing requirements of the country where it's currently located. Air Canada pilots don't suddenly require European licences when their planes touch down in London or Rome. The regulations under which the aircraft is operated are determined by the country in which it's registered, which is why Canadian law applies on Canadian aircraft even if they're flying in foreign airspace.
