Flying across the border with Light Sport

[Rick Rademacher]

I have flown into Canada many times in the past. I had to miss this year’s 70 Knotter trip because the group went to Canada. As I now only fly a J-3, I have decided to fly under the sport pilot rules. So, it is now illegal for me to fly in Canada.

Last year, the Canadian representatives at AIrVenture heard my opinion on this situation. I didn’t see them this year. I would hope that Canada will someday recognize the sport pilot rating.
