It has been my understanding that a amateur built aircraft imported into the

US from Canada had to have a minimum of 100 hours on it before it would be

considered elegible to be brought in. I spent a good part of my afternoon

trying to find something on the various web sites that might confirm this

and came up with a blank. 

 

Does anyone on the list know if this is a requirement and if so, where I

might find it on the web. e.g.: FAA site, etc

 

Thanks

Ted

My understaning is that it has to have a new AW certificate issued just 

like a first time inspection

to be sold in the US things may have changed. I had a KR in my hanger  

for a while that the guy bought in CA and

he had to have a new inspection done before US registration and N 

numbers assigned.

Ted,



I think you are thinking of the requirements to import an aircraft  

built outside Canada into Canada.  These requirements, defined in an  

exemption to CAR 549.01, do require that the aircraft have flown 100  

hours.

I have never read of a similar requirement for Canadian built aircraft  

being imported to the US.

That would make your plane French Canadian!  Sorry Ted I couldn't  

resist.



Serously I would check with EAA HQ on that question.

Thanks for the replies folks. Seems I was getting the US and Canadian

requirements mixed up.
