its rulemaking, otherwise it comes into force exactly one year from the date of signature (July 22), as it was presented. Transport Canada (TC) is of course aware of what’s going on in the U.S. and since 2011, COPA has been testing the waters to see if TC was consider- ing doing something similar and TC is not planning any changes. At this stage, TC says there is no reason why Canada should emulate the U.S., the major one being that we already have a very similar medical category in Canada. It is the category 4 medical, obtained through self declaration. Here is a note we received from TC a few months ago: “The sponsor and the FAA know that this proposal is not a class 3 medical as that is an existing ICAO standard which the proposal will not meet. The U.S. has not proposed an amendment at ICAO nor is one expected.

At destination, the pilot performed a downwind pass over the grass strip and noted that there was no windsock; the final approach to Runway 34 was over water. The aircraft touched down and the pilot held the nose wheel off the ground as long as possible. After the nose wheel settled on the surface, it contacted a bump and came down hard, resulting in bending the nose gear and the propeller digging into the ground. After a short skid, the aircraft came to a sudden stop with the tail in the air. The aircraft then tipped back to its upright position; however, it sustained substantial damage.

24 copa flight | SEPTEMBER 2016 Gathering of Classics Edenvale Attracts Dozens of Aircraft photos by Gustavo Corujo

The 2016 edition of the Eden- vale Gathering of the Classics drew crowds of airplanes and spectators to Edenvale Airport on Aug. 6. Anyone can fly to Edenvale for the special day but there’s a special place for historic aircraft and their owners did not disappoint. Among the attendees were a Harvard, Cornell, the CWH’s B-25 and even a 1946 Fleet Canuck. A steady stream of fly-in aircraft landed at the strip and local residents turned out in force to see the cool airplanes. There are a great many vintage aircraft in southern Ontario and Edenvale is a big star on the calendar for most owners. The event is put on by the Edenvale Classic Aircraft Foundation which maintains a Tiger Moth and offers rides during the day.

Buy Canadian The Pitfalls of Buying U.S. Homebuilts

Many who are interested in flying dream of owning their own aircraft, and this for obvious reasons. Being a pilot/owner grants one the freedom of flying at will without the inconve- nience and expense of renting. These and other benefits do come at a cost. It is always cheaper to share the cost of an aircraft among several pilots, hence the flying club. Better yet, the amateur built aircraft offers a good sensible approach to enjoying personal flight at a reasonable cost. This idea brings us to the transition from non-owner to owner, a transition that can be very simple or very complex. A pilot recently contacted me to discuss the acquisition of an amateur built aircraft. His investigation and review of several designs led him to the conclusion that he wanted a Rutan design, either the VariEze or the Long-EZ. He had found a VariEze for sale in the U.S. and the terms suited him. Since he had never physically seen either type, he visited me and had a good look at my Long-EZ, and we had a lengthy discussion on the merits of both the Long-EZ and the VariEze. port a project where the wing has already Canadian amateur-built aircraft are a better Buying an aircraft is always a risky ven- been closed, you will have to open it for bet for purchase. ture, certified or amateur built and war- inspection in Canada.
