" Many times, I've
found modifications
and repairs signed
off in a way that's
unacceptable to
Transport Canada. If
you don't know how
to tell the difference,
it can get expensive.
For example, if an
IA signed off by
referencing a 337
from another aircraft,
you may have to take
that modification off
your airplane or redo
it after you buy the
STC. "
Floyd suggests
On a warm June day, Dale Floyd, owner of Coast Dog
asking the seller to
Aviation in British Columbia, Canada, changed a

of the aircraft as
well as copies of the
logbooks. Pulling
the Federal Aviation Administration file will provide additional records,
including information on any accidents and 337 Forms that were filed. He
also recommends checking for liens on the aircraft.
" Those things will give you a pretty good idea if the airplane is worth
looking at, " Floyd said. " If it is, it's important to have an engineer who's
familiar with imports to go and actually inspect the aircraft to make sure it
matches the paperwork. I've seen cases where the airplane doesn't live up
to the paperwork.
" If everything is handled properly, once the aircraft has arrived in
Canada it should take about two to four weeks - normally - to receive a
Canadian certificate of airworthiness. "

Sharing four decades of experience
More than 40 years ago, the Royal Canadian Air Cadets, a national
youth program that focuses on basic aviation and aerospace training,
introduced Floyd to aviation. Today, he shares his experience and skills
with aircraft operators in Western Canada and those in the far northern
reaches of the country.
" They laid the foundation, training me to be both a glider and
powered-aircraft pilot, " Floyd said. " Through that, I ended up learning
the maintenance side as well. I finally started my own business with the
