Tim,, in quite a few cases, they will not accept a field overhaul by a AME.. The best bet,, is to consult an inspector from transport Canada,, let's just say if they don't accept it,, it would be rather surprissing when someone does an import and they don't accept it.. Another example,, In the US, my Garmin 300 was approved for IFR, It has everything connected to it that it should,, but here in Canada,, not approved. Unless I applied for a 1 of approval,, and that's expensive, so guess what,, it's now VFR only.
Lionel,
That's interesting. Here in the States, an overhaul is not mandated/required for Part 91 operators so the FAA really doesn't care--one can fly an engine forever and just repair as necessary as time goes on without ever doing a complete overhaul. As for the IFR GPS approval, what does Canada require that goes beyond what the FAA requires? Is it just the cost of the paperwork? I can't imagine anything more needing to be done.
