Hi guys!

Im going to dubai (united arab emirates) for couple of weeks, and I was just wondering if I can rent a plane wit my CDN license.... or do I have to convert my license?

Thanks
-Moe

You should be able to rent with any license at all. In fact you don't even need a license to rent. However you most likely will not able to act as PIC with your Canadian license. A buddy of mine rented a plane in Australia but had to fly with an instructor because he only had his CDN cpl.

Hope that helps,

Good day

thank you for your help... so I cant take freinds and family up for a fun flight without an instructor?

My experience in Soth America is that they will accept the Cnd licence but most countries require a lot of paper work before you are allowed PIC privileges . Get in touch with the UAE embassy and enquire how to get in touch with their Civil Aviation authority ,they probably have a web site with info on what is needed .Good luck

Look into it before hand but I'd bet if you went to a FSDO (sp?) and picked up as US license it would be easier.
