Now that the aircraft is here, what now?

Once the aircraft is in Canada, the import process can begin.  For an import, Maintenance Staff Instruction number 26 must be completed and submitted to an MD-M (Minister's Delegate, Maintenance).  A copy of this form can be obtained from the links section below.  An annual inspection is also required.  The MD-M cannot perform the work required for import.  This work must be completed by a qualified AME.  To import any aircraft it requires both an AME and an MD-M.

Perform the inspection and assemble the package for submission to the MD-M.  The MD-M will then inspect the aircraft and the package and issue the Certificate of Airworthiness.

You will be given a copy of the import package to retain with your aircraft records.
