Lynn , Good luck !!



And what i meant for landing in untracked snow was in he event you land 

other than at Ski flyin.



forgot to mention -- don't forget your winter survival kit.



And If you going near the border, do you need a passport?    Us Canadians 

need a passport to fly Toronto to Vancouver now as we do fly "over " US Soil 

.   Go figure !!



Another thing some might not know is that a LSA pilot from USA without a 

aviation medical is not legal to fly in Canada.  This will be looked at 

again in a few months when FAA meets with Transport Canada. But that being 

said  this was brought up at a Transport Canada meeting a few weks ago and 

it was summarized like this ........



"The plane can come in if he asks permission beforehand. It is not an 

automatic online admossion like for amateur-builts, but they will not refuse 

the plane. The minimum US license currently accepted by Ottawa is the 

Private. There will be a meeting with the FAA in May at which this might be 

relaxed to accept the Sport Pilot ticket if it is validated by a category 3 

or 4 medical "



Hope this helps ,

Dave

That's kinda dumb, because the reason for the Sport Pilot ticket is  

partially to avoid having to have a 3rd class medical...(is that a  

"cat 3 or 4 medical"?)

Lynn in Canada  There are several medicals  here.  They are all dumb but if 

you not fit to fly I guess they saying stay away. But if you fit to drive 

you can drive ? LOL



CAT  1  for commerical, ATR , instructors   which u used to have till i 

turned 40 then i downgradd to PP and a

CAT 3 to avoid the 6 month medicals,ekg etc.



CAT 3 is private pilot   every 2 years after 40  which i get now.



CAT  4 is   for -recreational license ( like Private  but limited)

                       -  ULtralights



So we do not have a category for drviers license medicals and that is why if 

you do not havea Aviation medical that it is Illegal to fly in Canada at 

this point from USA in LSA category. Although they seemed to be failry 

relazed on that issue and it might change in the near future.

It would be kind of dumb if you were required to have a Cat 3 or 4 medical

to fly your SP somewhere in the U.S.  Canada is however a sovereign nation

but to keep things open considers the regulations south of the border.



Now for the dumb part



Canada doesn't accept a drivers license as proof of medical... Yet.



The good news.. The Cat 4 medical here is simply a document that you sign

saying you don't have any of the problems they list.  If you are an old

codger (right) over the ripe age of 40, then you will have to have a ECG

with the section signed by the doctor saying you have a normal sinus rhythm.



The bad news...

The Canadian government will lighten your wallet by around $50.00 CDN

($40.00 U.S.) to process your medical.



More dumb stuff:

A Canadian airliner leaving a Canadian city and landing in a Canadian city

but flying over U.S. airspace requires every one on board to have a  valid

passport in their possession.

I doubt if U.S. airlines require any airliner departing a U.S. city and

landing in another U.S. city but flying over Canadian airspace require

passports for their passengers to enter the U.S. by air.



One of these days beaureaucrats on both sides of the 49th may get rid of all

the dumb laws.
