You’re right. I’m wrong. It’s a learning process for me simply because I’ve only exported Canadian registered aircraft.

Gino

Photofly I stand corrected. I’ll take that ‘period’ back if I may? The temporary reg gets you to the border. Then the importation begins, including the required TC inspections and paperwork. Then the Customs import can be completed to collect duties and taxes. The aircraft is likely duty free if it ...

Operating Crew don’t have to quarantine. As in airline “crew” on assigned duty.
What’s being a pilot got to do with anything?
The 14 day quarantine is mandatory even for a pilot.

Gino

Photofly You cannot put a Canadian registration on an aircraft sitting in the United States and fly it back to Canada. Period. The same for a car or a boat. Cannot be done legally before they’re entered into the country. Otherwise you could simply slap a C- on your aircraft and tell Canpass nothing ...

Seawings You lucked out. The Canpass agent obviously didn’t know the quarantine requirement either. BTW telling them you’re a pilot has no bearing on your admittance to Canada. As a Canadian, regardless of your occupation, they couldn’t stop you from entering Canada. Maybe you’re impressed with your...

Well. Your aircraft was already Canadian registered. No problem. The fact you didn’t quarantine in the USA is a state-by-state issue and YES, you were supposed to self quarantine for 14 days when you got back to Canada. That’s not an if, and, or maybe. It’s the requirement. It’s THE requirement.

Maybe ...
and only a quarter of its former number will have to worry about bending over. Because the remaining 3/4ths will still be on the outside looking in, wishing they could also bend over.
This is only going to get uglier.

Porter has the right idea. Cut the min operating costs to a minimum. Stop trying to chase an unpredictable and fickle travelling public during the uncertainty of a pandemic. The likes of which have never been seen before.

Conditions, as they exist today, are killing the airlines. We all know that. Especially those who were shown the door. Pleading with the government to ease Covid restrictions or allowing airlines to conjure up work-arounds is simply an indication of how desperate things are for Canadian carriers. I ...

Yes. We're good. The confusing answer seems to be 'anyone can travel to the U.S. regardless of the Covid-19 restrictions currently in effect". I am very leery of press reports because reporters can 'misunderstand' or 'misinterpret'. I find the restrictions posted on the U.S. Embassy website much cle...

I suspect it has more to do with the number of automobiles and border crossing points than it has to do with anything else. It's easier for border enforcement if you restrict access by using such things as pre-screening of passengers than it does for anyone just arbitrarily or randomly showing up at...

Q: What will this mean for airline travel and other travel across the border? A: This action (crossing the border) does not apply to entry into the United States from Canada via air, rail, or sea travel at this time, but does apply to commuter rail and ferry travel. Gentlemen ... Think about the ve...

Travel by air is not without restrictions. If this is easier try reading it for yourself using the link in my previous post. The following categories do not fall within the definition of “essential travel:” Individuals traveling for tourism purposes, such as sightseeing, recreation, gambling, or att...

Border restrictions by air DO apply.

molsonb So, now it’s down to duties and taxes. The importation of your aircraft. With your paperwork in order you should be good to go. Before that though, you’ll have to convince US Customs before you board a flight to America that your entry into the States is ‘essential’. Be sceptical before you ...

molsonb Now that more of your story is known. If your kit plane is finished it will require an “N” registration. You will need an FAA pilot certificate to fly it in US airspace (or someone with an FAA certificate) to get it to the border. You can’t put a Canadian registration on it until all duties ...

molsonb In light of the information you’ve provided the only obstacle you’re likely to face is entering the US. Canada Customs cannot and will not deny you re-entry when you fly home if you are a Canadian citizen. That’s not their mandate. They collect taxes and duties, therefore the customs and exc...

The Canadian Customs and Immigration laws say so. That’s who.
Try a google search and see how the federal statute defines “crew”.

We’ll wait.

Gino

molsonb This isn’t a great place to ask this kind of complicated question. Expect opinion rather than an accurate answer. Firstly, there is a story. Secondly, there are the facts. Your question is pretty barren as far as the facts are concerned. 1. Is the aircraft Canadian registered? 2. Is the airc...

Agreed. They may never find a vaccine. Nothing so far for AIDS after what? 30 some odd years. But, they’re likely to similarly find effective treatment for CV19 with medications. Also, when Delta removes a large number of aircraft from their fleet, a 60% load factor can be misleading. https://thepoi...
