The last three letters will be given to you by Transport Canada. 3. Once your letters are known, you must fill out the "Application for registration form" 26-0521 http://www.tc.gc.ca/pdf/26-0521.pdf With this request you must also join: - bill of sales of your paramotor. NOT THE WING. Just the motor. - a photo of your identification plate (you can make one yourself. Metal plate of 3'' x 4'' with the following information engraved on it): Name of constructor: (example: POWERED PARAGLIDING NEW BRUNSWICK) Model and serial number of your paramotor: (example: SD, serial no. XXXX) Year of construction: - a photo of your letters either on your wing or on the bottom of your harness. Letters must have a minimum of 3 inches 4. Accompanying the above-mentioned documents you must pay $110 to the Receiver General of Canada. Once processed, you will receive via mail your registration. How to fill out form 26-0521: General: Aircraft or Kit Manufacturer: Name of the constructor (example) Paratour Registration marks: the letters given to you by TC Model Designation: example: SD, DK, Adventure Serial no.: serial number on the engine Aircraft is subject of: Bill of Sale Country and year of assembly: Canada plus year of construction Gross wing: Put the size of your wing. Example 27 m2 Proposed base of operation: the location where you fly the most or the school or airport nearest you where you have permission to take- off from. Max. take-off weight: Maximum that your wing can take (written on the inside of your wing) Launch weight: Your weight plus equipment. MAKE SURE THAT THE WEIGHT WRITTEN HERE IS LOWER THAN MAX. TAKE-OFF WEIGHT. Empty weight: Weight of your paramotor. As a rule of thumb I always put 50 lbs. Stall speed: 25 kph (which is the average among the different wings on the market. So as a rule I put 25 for all). Number of seat: single Particulars of applicant: all your info. Make sure that address is correct. Part D Please make sure to check one of the two boxes date and sign the form. On all requests you must have an accompanying letter putting in reference my name (Christiane Moisan) as being the one taking care of your file. You must also point out to them if you wish your file to remain in Quebec or be transferred back to Toronto. As a suggestion I would recommend your file stay in Quebec. If for some reason they need more info it will be easier for me to deal with them if your file is in Montreal office. When we talk about your file we mean your registration file only. Mailing address to send your application with all the required documents and cheque: Transport Canada Registration Department 2033-700 Leigh Capreol Dorval (Québec) H4Y 1G7 I sincerely hope I have made it a little easier for Ontario PPG pilots to register their equipment WITHOUT HASSLE.

Initially I contacted the office in Quebec mentioned below but was told to deal with my local office in Toronto. I spoke with Jim P. at 416-952-0219 as to what was needed. They are: 1-completed form 26-0521 as outlined by Christiane above 2-copy of a bill of sale - the purpose of this not for the GST/PST but to show that legal title has passed. 3-I also included my receipt which showed proof of taxes paid. 4-A photocopy of your 3" x 4" steel nameplate. It includes the manufacturer, model and S/N. The year of make is not required. I have access to a nameplate stamping machine so can help anyone with this. 5- Call back and ask for the finance department - pay the $110 by Visa and get your receipt # which you include on your fax to Jim. I did this on Monday and Jim phoned me back on Tuesday with my registration number C-I CHZ. There's no need to include the reg'n number on your wing. I will make up a suitable sized reg/n plate to attach in the bottom of the seat. I guess they trust that you will do this part. The process was quick and hassle free _______________________________________________________________________ |
