I've made this flight many times before and never encountered this
before. I filed from my home airport (MGY) to PT(which is an NDB) to CYKZ using DUATS. Everything went fine. When I called for my clearance, they didn't have anything on me. So I departed VFR, and tried calling again. Still no luck. They tried manually entering my flight, but then said they had trouble entering my Canadian waypoint and destination so I better call Flight Service. I filed with FSS and called ATC again, but still ATC had nothing for me. I called FSS again. Now he says his computer would not take CYKZ or PT, and the only way he could do this is if I provided the lat/lon for these places. After shuffling through a lot of mess, I found the co- ordinates for CYKZ and read the numbers. I said forget the enroute waypoint; I'll go direct. After nearly one hour after departure I finally got my clearance. It was good time too because we were in IMC not too long after that. I was totally puzzled by this. Since when did Canadian airports and navaids disappear from US computers? |
