According to articles published in Canadian General Aviation News, it will
be nearly impossible to change a registration from the owner-maintained
category back to a standard category. I'm not sure if this will apply to
an airplane being exported to the US. As I understand it, moving to the
owner-maintained category gives the owner much the same rights as a
homebuilt. The aircraft may be modified with non-certified parts or even
a
non-certified engine. Obviously, both Transport Canada and the FAA would
be reluctant to re-certify an aircraft which may have been modified in
many
ways from the original type certificate.
