![]() "Peter R." wrote in message ... Icebound ) wrote: There is one little piece of outdated information on their "flight planning" page. If you need/want to talk to an FSS, it is no longer at Toronto/Buttonville as shown on that page... it is now at London; you would call "London Radio". The same FSS frequencies should still work. The 126.7 is the "in-the-air" frequency, so the "above 3000" qualifier may be valid, but the 123.15 is supposed to work when you are on the ground at the airport. And those Buttonville phone numbers are useless, also. To reach FSS by phone, just call 1-866-WX BRIEF So, do I understand the information on that page correctly that to activate my IFR flight plan, I would have to call FSS rather than speak to the ground controller? Or does the following quote refer to VFR flight plans? "Pilots are requested to open & close flight plans with Toronto/Buttonville FSS on 126.7 or 123.15 above 3000 AGL or by phone." It refers to VFR plans for sure, but it could be that they request closing through FSS after landing as being more convenient for everyone all around (see my previous post about 123.15). In the google archives, there are a lot of posters who claim Canadian ATC will open/close IFR plans at towered airports. You could just put in the "close" request to the ground controller and the worst that will happen is he will direct you to the FSS. In case it wasn't clear, by the way, that FSS "WX BRIEF" number is for filing FP, as well as weather info. |
