    Uh, Barry, I think your info is a little out of date about the radio station license. I've been flying since 2002 and there has never been a requirement for a station license in that time. What is required is a Restricted Radio Operators License (Aeronautical). This is a license from Industry Canada to be able to talk on the aviation band. > Thank God I never had a ramp check - But you are correct in > the USA AROW is > what is required.

    Doug, Very useful information on the Cat 3 Canadian Medical. I wonder if the FAA would accept that as a substitute for an FAA 3rd Class Medical for private pilot privileges. My guess is that unless the pilot was Canadian citizen, they would not because it would be seen as an attempt to circumvent the established FAA Medical requirements. The reason I'm interested in this is that I do maintenance and inspection on a US registered Diamond Katana (heavier than LSA limit) that is owned by a Canadian but hangared here in Buffalo at the same airport I fly from. The owner likes for me to test fly his airplane after doing maintenance on it but since I let my FAA medical expire a few years ago, I've not been legally able to do that. I have no reason to think I would not pass an FAA medical but don't want to go through the process if I don't actually need it. Very interesting thread for us who live close to the borders. Do you happen to know the answers to these? 1) Are US registered aircraft required to have 12" high registration numbers to fly into Canada? 2) Must US registered aircraft have a 406 MHz ELT to fly into Canada? I fly my Kolb Slingshot as a single place since I removed the seat belt from the back "seat" and therefore don't even need any type of ELT. -------- Thom Riddle Buffalo, NY (9G0) Kolb Slingshot SS-021 Jabiru 2200A #1574 Tennessee Prop 64x32 Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.

    Hi Doug, you need a FCC radio license to fly operatethe radio / fly outside of the US. This is a US, not a Canadian requirement. Cost for the license is $110.

    Doug: :-) You are confusing Apples and Apple Sauce. Please read the post again. In the USA you you have to comply with AROW - - I think it was Thom that said AROW first. If I'm wrong will the author please take a bow. AROW Airworthiness Registration Owners manual W&B. To fly outside of the USA you have to ADD the second R - Radio Station License. Your Plane is the Radio Station - NOT the Operator. I know, I know it is semantics and even the FCC messes things up there a bit. To explain Operator Vs Station License... You the Push Button Pusher did NOT take an FCC test to become a radio operator - The plane is licensed under the 'N' number as the location of the equipment and even the 'N' says it i s from the USA. You do NOT require ANY Canadian license because the plane is registered in the USA and You (the pilot) hopefully have a USA Pilot License. In that way Canada is our Friendly neighbor and just as we can drive in Canada with a USA drivers license we can Fly and Operate a Radio in Canada. BUT - If you want to stay there a few days or leave the vicinity of your plane you have to get a custom's permit. HELL! Even the Canadian Government wants to make MONEY!

    Of course there are the few who fly with no license, no insurance and no medical. How the ever get away with it eludes me.

There was discussion with Transport Canada but nothing has been done. If you do have a issue then you might be flying without insurance as well as you would be without a medical. hence no permit to fly in Canuk airspace.

I have done it when flying to OSH. Even landing at a controlled airport in Canada for gas is not an issue. No special permits required. It only becomes an issue if you land at a non-towered airport or you wish to stay there and leave the immediate vicinity of your plane. Then you have to have all your paper work in order and SOME Canadian officials still want you to have a Radio Station License. Easiest way is to File a Flight Plan. I was in contact with Canadian ATC and during a lull in operations asked them all these questions. They were very helpful and not the least bit concerned.

Sorry, but tI don't understand what you are saying or how it would be helpful. I'm a private pilot in Alaska and would love to be able to fly Canadian airspace. But I don't want to get a medical because if I should happen to fail the medical, I would then not be eligibile to fly even if I am only exercising Light Sport privileges.

The reason for that is then TC would then be under pressure to allow the same thing for Canadian pilots. Considering that medicals for driving are the domain of the provinces, I can't see that ever happening. What I think should happen is that American LSA pilots should just fill out the same class 4 declaration that we do and pay their $50.00 registration fee... Then enjoy! Canadian pilots flying south of the 49th are in a bit more of a problem because they might have to get an American drivers license first and the regulations governing our AULA are a bit different than LSA. Perhaps the FAA could inaugurate a same as DL for Canadian pilots heading south... with an appropriate fee of course. I would love to be able to fly my Kitfox to Osh sometime but I'm not holding my breath.

Then you print off the permission form just like an (Experimental)Amateur Built plane and carry that with you. Back when LSAs first came about, the powers that be at Transport Canada said they were never going to allow pilots to fly without some kind of medical here in Canada. The last time I heard them speak on the subject they said something more like, "We're waiting to see how well it works in the US." That being said, it will likely still be many years before anything happens with allowing Sport Pilot licenses to fly in Canada with a dirver's license medical. Tranpost Canada is running pretty lean these days and they have far bigger fish to fry.

    Subject: 9xx banjo fitting
    Hi Folks, I have a 914 in a Europa. The route of the oil line from the bottom of the engine banjo fitting (push on barb style) to the oil tank goes above the exhaust. I made a heat shield from some stainless sheet and this works pretty well, but puts a little pressure on the oil line (teflon with SS braid) If the banjo fitting angled down a little I could run the line below, which would be preferable. Less heat and pressure on the oil line from contact with the exhaust pipe. Anyone know of a source for a banjo fitting with an angle that would fit this application? I don't think I want to go to the AN type banjo fitting because I can't use AN on the old style oil tank I have. Or is there an adaptor for that? Thanks, Kevin

    I installed the VDO oil pressure sender when the Honeywell unit failed (and screwed up the Dynon D-180 'big time' and flew this morning (14-degrees F, but Reif heater and a space heater brought oil up to 100-degrees F in an hour) ... the remote sensor gave oil pressure readings that were rock solid, and the suggestion of dripping oil into the line from the 912's port over to the firewall-mounted sensor worked just fine..thanks, Roger.

    Subject: Pressure sender bleeding
    From: "rparigoris" <rparigor@suffolk.lib.ny.us>
    There has been a suggestion to bleed the oil pressure sender: "the suggestion of dripping oil into the line from the 912's port over to the firewall-mounted sensor worked just fine" I have a concern that with my UMA differential pressure sender for my 914 that there will be the same fuel in the line for a long time (differential is fuel pressure going to the carbs over airbox pressure). Instead of bleeding the line with Mogas, I could use 100LL which would probably be a better choice. I am wondering if there is a better fluid to use for bleeding other than 100LL? Thx.
