Soaring in Invermere, BC

A glider was imported to Alberta a few
years ago, but after getting the CofR, the
owner took it to an AME (Canadian
equivalent of A&P IA) for an annual
inspection, but the AME was unfamiliar
with the import airworthiness process
which requires the laying on of hands by
an MD-M (Minister's Delegate -
Maintenance); so just did an annual.

No CofA was issued. A few folks flew it
and were later fined a few hundred bucks
per flight by Transport Canada.
