Importing EXP from Canada

As I read that info, you'd simply bring the aircraft down on its Canadian registration, then remove the "C-letters"

Then request an "N" number then file for a AWC, by submitting this form.

Apparently. I think it's probably advisable to have all the builder's paperwork, aircraft and engine logs, inspection records, and CAA stuff in hand first, though. I've never actually done it. Someone from your local EAA chapter may have first-hand experience.

wouldn't having it built in Canada eliminate that? it is a used aircraft after all?

Possibly. But it's better to have paper that the DAR doesn't want than to not have paper that they do.

At a minimum, I'd think they'd want the logs, CAA AWC (or equivalent), CAA de-registration letter, and inspection reports.

To get it licensed as an Experimental Amateur-Built aircraft, seems to me you'd have to provide proof that the airplane was built for education or recreation. Seems like you'd need something to prove that; builder's logs, pictures during construction, etc. just like a US-built aircraft.

Not saying an FAA inspector or DAR won't give you the benefit of the doubt, but seems to me that if they're sticklers, you might have a problem.

If it *was* originally built in the US, licensed as an EX-AB, and exported to Canada, you've got a good chance. You need to trace that provenance.

Looking at the FAA registration database, Morrison Liberty 181 N181L was imported to Canada in 2008. It had been licensed as Experimental Amateur-Built.

I have no clue as to the history of the aircraft, plus the guy is reluctant to wait for me to get to it.

So I guess it's off my plate.
