Flying to Canada

[flyboyzz1]

Does a private pilot need a FCC license to fly into Canada?

Yes, it is required when I flew there back in 99.

I'm not sure if the rules have changed but when I was flying; as long as the aircraft is U.S registered and you have an FAA certificate, a radio license is not required.

OK thats what I thought and thats what I did a few times and no one said anything but I wanted to make sure.

Can Pass!

Call 1-800-CAN-PASS. I flew a Citation II in there several times and was never even remotely questioned about it. Using CAN-PASS is the easiest way to travel accross the border.

Good Luck

well my trips are done but I didn't have one at the time.... and I'm not sure if I needed one but the reason I ask is I don't want this to get asked during an interview why I flew there and didn't have a FCC license. Flew there a few times and had both countries customs check me out and didn't ask once for the license.

Yes, you are required to have a radio station operator's license to operate an aircraft transmitting radio outside of the US.
