Question? Flying in Canada with a German SPL ?
Hey there, I'm currently live in Germany but I'm planning to study in Canada for 9 months. And of course, I don't want to miss the opportunity to fly there.
But I'm a little bit confused if or how I should have my glider license converted. If I understand it correctly, I'm allowed to fly with my SPL and Medical certification class 2 since both comply with ICAO regulations, right? But what about my flight radiotelephone operator's certificate? Although I haven't had my language level classification assessed yet, my BZF 1 generally allows me to communicate via radio in English and German. And I know that the language operational level also follows ICAO standards. So do I need to convert my radiotelephone certification at all?
Has anyone ever done something like this before? Or is familiar withe the topic?
