Transport Canada has revised regulations for LSA pilots this week.
It will now be more affordable and less difficult for light sport aircraft from the United States to fly into Canada.
Before this announcement pilots were required to call Transport Canada and receive authorization to operate an LSA in Canada, obtain a validation form to keep in the aircraft, and pay a $100 fee.
“Now LSA owners simply have to download the Standardised Validation form, follow customs requirements, and fly. The $100 fee has been eliminated,” said Randy Hansen, EAA government relations director.
This will also be of benefit Canadians, said Jack Dueck, EAA Canadian Council member “It not only gives U.S. LSA pilots an easier in to flying in Canada, this is also good news for Canadians since it indicates a continuing effort to bring LSA to Canadian pilots and owners.”
