Hi all,
As the title would lead you to believe I am considering flying an RV to Canada in August. I have learned via the Transport Canada website that I will need to get a:
?Standardized Validation of a Special Air Worthiness Certificate - Experimental for the Purpose of Operating a United States Registered Amateur-Built Aircraft in Canadian Airspace
Does anyone have any experience with this that they would be willing to share? Is this REALLY as simple as it looks? Print the Standarized form and you're done?
Other than this Stardardized Validation are there any requirements that are needed that differ from the U.S.? The form would lead me to believe that as long as the aircraft is appropriately certified and so equiped in the U.S. it is legal in Canada (i.e.- Day VFR vs Night IFR).
I have flown Parts 91, 135 and 121 into and out of Canada but never in an airplane that was issued a Special Airworthiness Certificate.
I am somewhat familar with US Customs and CanPass but any pointers now would save me a lot of trouble later!
Thanks in advance,
R121
