Default Pre Pan-American and 2018 Canadian National Gliding Competition

Hi Branco,
All Canadian Gliders possess Type Certificates as the experimental category is not recognized in Canada. It is only the US registered gliders without type certificates that must fulfill this Transport Canada requirement.
Hosting the Pan Americans is an honour however not one without substantial additional costs to the host organization. The host club will pay approximately 2,600 Euros on behalf of the approximately 40 competitors to the FAI in sanction fees. In addition there are requirements for opening ceremonies, closing ceremonies, country flags and the list continues. We want to provide a safe fun contest for our many visitors. We are grateful to all of our North and South American friends who will join us for this contest.
If you would like to talk more about the Pan American contest please feel free to contact me at vthomp"at"rogers.com
