Default Canadian Nationals - June 20 - 29

Gents,

Canada has fairly good reciprocal agreements with the US. You may fly
your US-registered glider with your US pilot license in Canadian
airspace, just as we can fly our Canadian-registered aircraft with a
Canadian licence in the US.

The only paperwork necessary is if your glider is registered
"Experimental". Since it is not concidered "certified", you apply for
and receive a waiver to be allowed to fly it in Canada. There is a
$100 fee (which is tragic), and you have to declare an anticipated
time-period that you require it to be active (30 days is reasonable)
and otherwise it's painless and fast. Contact info for the process
should be up on the contest website shortly.

In the event you want to fly a Canadian-registed aircraft (solo), you
need to get the Validation Certificate, similar in concept to a
Canadian flying a US-regiseterd aircraft in the US.

Cheers,

Derek
