Just depends where you go.
Quadrant is just a different way of accepting the answer. It doesn't affect the questions otherwise, except maybe you do need to know the answer
Ah I see yeah. Thanks Paco. Any idea what it's like for foreign pilots in Canada by any chance? I'd love to move out there and build some time and live there long term. I love the place! That was on the list to check out as I would have assumed Canadian and American licences will be easily exchangeable
