I'll take a few flights between Rochester, NY and the Detroit area this summer. Going through the Canadian airspace just seems so much shorter. I can go IFR. I'm a member of the Rochester Flying Club and I fly into or over Canada quite frequently. My questions is: * I don't need to deal with customs at all, as long as I don't stop at Canada, right? Correct. * Do I need to use the ICAO flight plan for the IFR, or is the FAA domestic flight plan sufficient for these flights? The standard FAA flight plan works for over flights or even for flights into Canada. * Since I'll use Canadian ATC service during the overflight, will I get a bill from NavCanada when I get home? Yes, it's still around $15 (Canadian), and it's good for a whole quarter - so if you fly back before the quarter is over, you won't get another bill. * Is it easier to do this IFR or VFR? I assume doing this IFR would make the Canadian overflight easier, but I'm very open to suggestions. IFR is easier. If it's VFR, you MUST be on a flight plan and you MUST be talking to ATC and on an assigned squawk code while crossing the border. If you're going to file and talk to ATC, you might as well do it IFR. -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ But seriously, I've got root, so it's his problem. -- Nick Manka |

get a bill from NavCanada when I get home? Yes, it's still around $15 (Canadian), and it's good for a whole quarter - so if you fly back before the quarter is over, you won't get another bill. When did this go into effect? I have never been charged for previous overflights. If I landed at a Canadian airfield, I was charged, and rightly so. It is my understanding that there is a bilateral agreement not to charge for overflights. |

I have never been charged for previous overflights. You're right. I thought they'd removed the exemption for overflights, but I just checked the current fee schedule http://www.navcanada.ca/ContentDefin...ide_New_en.pdf and it still says that flights from one part of the US to another are still exempt. Since I land in Canada several times a year, I guess I never got a chance to notice that they didn't charge if I somehow avoided landing there for a quarter. -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ Mommy, what does "Formatting Drive C:" mean? |

I believe that is reciprocal because USA ATC does not charge Canadian pilots for similar services. |
