Soaring in Invermere, BC

Very nicely done!

Can I simply bring a glider registered as "Experimental, Exhibition and
Racing" in the USA to Invermere?

Yes, you can bring any US registerred glider to Canada and fly it. The only caveat is only US licensed pilots may fly it while here (I believe).

Experimental gliders need a foreign validation. I hear it is pretty quick and easy.

Some old instructions:

Recommended procedure
The following instructions were given by Mike Skoszen at the Transport Canada office in Hamilton, ON.

Call 1-877-250-4888
Pay $100 for "Foreign validation" code 9K09
Get receipt # when paying

Email a copy of cert of registration and cert of airworthiness with the
receipt # to Mike

Offlicial procedure as specified by TC
The procedure to fly your "Experimental" glider in Canada is now called a "Validation of Foreign Flight Authority".
Please scan your Certificate of Registration and special Certificate of Airworthiness with the Letter stating the Operating Limitations.
The documents should be in PDF format and the request should be sent to the following e-mail address:

Send the message requesting permission to fly your American registered glider licensed in the "Experimental" category at the Canadian National Gliding Championships to be held at Rockton , Ontario .

Use the dates from June 25th to July 10th including the practice days and weekend before and after the contest.
There is a fee of CAD $ 100 and you should be able to pay this with Visa or MC.

The specifics are available on the Transport Canada website at:

Thanks for the information but it's a bit too far for me to tow my
trailer - 3,000 mile round trip plus 4 long days of driving.

Be careful when applying. A friend applied and they asked him what his purpose (mission) was. He replied "fun flying" and they responded that this doesn't fit into the Experimental and Exhibition category (flying in a contest or at an exhibition i.e. airshow). He was denied on the grounds that he didn't meet the airworthiness restrictions. I never applied for this paperwork and wasn't ever questioned (falls into the category of "don't ask for permission but seek forgiveness - if caught [hell, it worked for the Clintons for years!]}.

Very poor advice, can get your glider seized. Follow the rules and get all the required paperwork.

The OLC is a contest. It is right in the name so no one can deny that.

Flying in training for contest or airshow also meets the requirement of the certificate.

My Program Letter specifies "within the Continental United States".
Perhaps I should add Canada should I decide to go further afield.

HIGHLY UNLIKELY - my glider was type certified in Germany, but imported to the US as experimental. Transport Canada is looking for homebuilts.
