Great idea for the post. I will be importing my plane later this year, after repairs and re-assembly. I have been involved in imports many years ago but with all the new CARS and Standards I have found it all a bit overwhelming. I have heard good stories and bad. Luckily, in my region, I have a very good relationship with Transport Canada and the TC Delegate who will be doing the actual import paperwork.
One good reference book is "CARS Simplified", by Dave Dueck (Dueck Publishing). His book explains the CARS in plain english and also references the specific sections of the CARS he is explaining. The book is excellent for owners, operators and AME's. With the CARS being constantly changed, that book has helped me many times! I've even heard that TC references it, though I doubt anyone would publicly admit it!:)
How long did the process take with your plane? Any unusual hang-ups?
