SUPPOSEDLY a sport pilot could apply to Transport Canada for an exception, but I don't believe anyone has done so let alone gotten an exception.
Curious though if one wanted to fly from Washington state to alaska without landing in Canada a sport pilot could legally do that.
Or stay over international waters off the west coast?
Both seem like dumb ideas but just curious.
As I understand it the Canada rules say you have to have a medical certification, but not sure if they specifiy it has to be an FAA recognized medical certification.
What if your family doc gave you a fancy certificate saying you are medically fit per FAA have the equivalent of a class 3 certification or whatever?
My sport pilot contact at EAA says, unlike the Bahamas, which explicitly allows sport pilots, in his opinion Canada doesn't seem to have any advocates inside pushing for them to do the same.
Too bad, as I really can't see any downside to them to doing so, and it would bring in a tad more tourist revenue, albeit not a flood.
My two cents.
