Redtail Board SO Topic creator registered since: 27.06.2008 Posts: 1	Hello, Currently I am a private pilot working on my instrument and commercial license as I attend college. I'm a U.S. citizen and was wondering if you was wanting to get a floatplane job in Canada, is an instrument rating required like it is in the U.S. to fly majority of operations? If you have a commercial license without an instrument rating what can you do as a pilot? What restrictions are placed on a pilot without a instrument rating? In the u.s. a pilot is restricted to 25 miles of operation and no commercial night flights with passengers without an instrument rating, does that hold true for canada? How would a U.S. citizen go about getting a canadian commercial license if you wanted to fly for the small bush operations up north on floats? I greatly appreciate the help!

I'll try to answer as many questions as possible although it's some time since I've been flying in Canada. An instrument rating is a big advantage. Weather is often marginal up north and it offers you and your employer a lot more planning flexibility. Without IR, commercial flights are permitted as long as you remain VFR. To fly at night you will need at least a night (VFR) endorsement. You could for instance carry around tourists on sightseeing flights... If you want to know on how to get a Canadian CPL, contact Transport Canada. http://www.tc.gc.ca/air/menu.htm Any bush pilot out there who would have more tips? Hope it helps Redtail and continued success in pursuing your goals! Cheers, fliteadmin flightwork.com - International Pilots Net
