Flying Canadian registered on FAA licence?
I seem to remember something from an old FAR/AIM saying that there is a bilateral agreement to allow FAA certificated pilot to fly an Canadian registered aircraft privately without TC validation! And vice versa.
I have had no luck finding this again on the internet.
Does anyone there have access to FAR/AIM or any knowledge of this? I belive the reference was in the Airman´s information manual!

i'm not sure what is written but i do know that you can convert a canadian commercial license to a FAA private on the FAA web site. no questions asked, then you could likely go out and hire a machine to fly. i would expect that it goes both ways.

Re: Flying Canadian registered on FAA licence?
It gets a little hazy.
Aircarft and aircarriers operating under NAFTA ( which really stands for one way street):
An american with a FAA cpl can fly a C registered aircraft in the US. A canook with a CAA CPL can fly a N reg machine in Canada.
A cannook flying a N reg machine in the US needs a FAA CPL, vice vs for the yank in Canada.
The canook and the yank need L1 visa's to fly out side thier respective countrys. A pilot needs to be employed for one year before he can be transfer to the other country under the L1 visa.
hope this helps
