At least he went back to where he came from, and by choice. Different situation down here on the southern border of the US. Hello Fellow Dickhead, I don't need to "tattle" on anyone: Chester did that all by himself by posting his flight on a public forum. Furthermore, my objective is to learn the nuances of the law, not to "tattle." And a quick search turned up the following US Code: 8 U.S. Code § 1287. Alien crewmen brought into the United States with intent to evade immigration laws; penalties Any person, including the owner, agent, consignee, master, or commanding officer of any vessel or aircraft arriving in the United States from any place outside thereof, who shall knowingly sign on the vessel’s articles, or bring to the United States as one of the crew of such vessel or aircraft, any alien, with intent to permit or assist such alien to enter or land in the United States in violation of law, or who shall falsely and knowingly represent to a consular officer at the time of application for visa, or to the immigration officer at the port of arrival in the United States, that such alien is a bona fide member of the crew employed in any capacity regularly required for normal operation and services aboard such vessel or aircraft, shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding $10,000 for each such violation, for which sum such vessel or aircraft shall be liable and may be seized and proceeded against by way of libel in any district court of the United States having jurisdiction of the offense. ================= Remember, if you get into a dispute with these folks, THEY will be deciding what "intent" means, NOT YOU! Chester, IMO, is skating on thin ice with these flights. He said he was vague about his flight plan, which will be potentially viewed by authorities as being evasive. And if he were forced to land in the US for ANY reason he would clearly be in violation of the law, and be at a very real risk of having his glider seized and a stiff fine imposed. You knuckleheads seem to think that you can violate the law and, if caught, you can talk your way out of it with something ridiculous like "declaring an emergency." Well, THINK AGAIN! These officers hear this crap every day from real criminals and are well versed in the law. Eric had a very close call on this, and only a comment by his wife to a customs officer at the border saved him running afoul with authorities. This is SERIOUS BUSINESS! Unlike most of the rest of you, I actually have Chester's best interests at heart. Jeez Tom - If you find yourself in a hole the generally accepted advice is to stop digging rather than breaking out the backhoe. Here’s a tip: Not a single person reading this thread thinks any of the defenses or deflections you’ve posted since have in any way justified the mistake of the original post. Quite the opposite. Blaming Chester for not preventing you from jumping to a wrong conclusion was just icing on the incredulity cake. Bringing in irrelevant customs or immigration regulations as defense for being wrong on an FAR topic is pure deflection. You’ve expended an immense amount of energy trying to convince only yourself that you weren’t mistaken in your original post. Each additional post antagonizes more people but convinces no one. It’s a rare personality that elects to twist reality that far for self-rationalization - in this case seemingly without any recognition that everyone else sees through it. Go back and read my link to the psychology article, then have a private sit-down for some self-reflection. Here’s a cut and paste reply for your next post: “Chester - My bad, I had no idea you’d filed a flight plan. Congrats on such a great flight and the foresight to deal with ATC ahead of time. I’m curious if you’ve given much thought to what you’d do if you were forced to land before re-entering Canadian airspace. It seems like that might open up and entirely different can of worms with a different government agency”. Just a suggestion. Or you can keep digging. Happy soaring. Andy Blackburn 9B Andy, At this point nothing that I say will please you, so I won't try. Tom |

Tom What a total dickhead -FFS what does it matter to you? - still grieving over 1812?, some Canuck did you wrong in the past??..... with guys like you around no wonder soaring is in decline. Following the FARs is not optional. Pilots who violate them can impact ALL of us, including you. I wonder how that inspector will react when you call him/her a "dickhead?" Thank f..k I don't have to soar in your godforsaken country. Chester has graciously come on here and explained how the flight was undertaken - now you should be celebrating the fact that it was a magnificent flight, but no you want to raise merry hell and look for some indiscretion. I hope the whole gliding world shuns you. |

Is a transponder even required? I didn't think so. Of course better to squawk and be on freq if possible.

Jeez much ado about nothing. Harold Eloy made multiple very long (for a 1-26) flights out of canada into North Dakota and beyond. If the perfect day materializes for a flight into canada I will go for it, talk to whoever I can get from ATC and deal with customs after the fact. Its much easier to ask for forgiveness than it is for permission much of the time.

If it's not an emergency, and you land in Canada or the USA without permission, they may not be very forgiving. Confiscation of your glider seems a real possibility.

I suspect Customs on either side would not buy that story if you flew into the country and never made an attempt to return, unless weather clearly prevented you from doing so (my situation on my only cross-border flight). Our own literature (soaring articles, RAS, etc) could easily be used against a "technical" claim. I think Chester's example is a good one: file a flight plan, talk to ATC on both sides before you need to, and have a motor that can get you back to your country without landing. So, Rami, order that ASG-29ES and move to Montana! -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "A Guide to Self-Launching Sailplane Operation" https://sites.google.com/site/motorg...ad-the-guide-1 - "Transponders in Sailplanes - Dec 2014a" also ADS-B, PCAS, Flarm http://soaringsafety.org/prevention/...anes-2014A.pdf |
