<p>Hey Joe, the link I posted above is essentially the same thing. It constitutes validation of the FAA Special Airworthiness Certificate for purposes of operating in Canadian airspace. I'm looking forward to exploring NB and Nova Scotia this summer. I've got my CBP sticker coming and just need to get an account with EAPIS for crossing in and out.</p>

<p>Do you know if it is possible to get a Transport Canada valid medical (IE, not necessarily a FAA medical via an U.S. aero-medical examiner) and fly as a sport pilot in Canada? From what little I've read, it seems it should be possible, but I've never read of anyone doing it.</p>

<p>Hi Gary,</p>
<p>You will need a medical to fly into Canada. That has always been Transport Canada's hang-up on having reciprocity with the Light Sport Pilot's Licence. The Light Sport License training is very similar to our ultralight <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">license</span> permit but it is the medical that is the problem. That is despite that we have a self declared medical for our ultralight classification.</p>
<p>BTW Dave, for us Canadians to fly our Amateur Builts (or…</p>

<p>BTW Dave, for us Canadians to fly our Amateur Builts (or our ultralights) into the US, we have the same restrictions (act of reciprocity) but we have to carry a copy of the FAA waiver with its conditions. We simply print one of the internet and carry it with our on-board documents. Sorry, I don't have the link to this document handy.</p>

<p>This is (good) news to me. I thought I was prohibited from taking my E-AB plane into Canada. I have family there and it would be great to be able to visit.</p>
<p></p>
<p>OR - I got confused that you can't fly there under a light sport licence. You have to have to fly under a private pilot's license. Now I'm wondering - if I have a PP license but fly under light sport rules - can I fly my E-AB into Canada???</p>

<p>I just checked the Transport Canada website and it's not clear there either:</p>

<p></p>
<p>Also not clear whether a current medical is required. I was pretty sure there was some reason I couldn't fly there but can't find it now.</p>

<p>OK, looks like this form will do the trick in addition to the required decal (user fee) and other minor detals..</p>
