You need to be talking to some ATC while you're crossing the border. It's
easiest if you get flight following the whole way. NavCanada will send the aircraft owner a bill for $15, but will cover the aircraft for the whole quarter, if you decide to do it again. Not necessarily. I fly from Columbus Ohio to Port Huron Michigan. Heading 005 degrees. I go feet wet at Sandusky Ohio, cross between Middle Bass and Kelly's Islands; fly west of Pelee Island and go feet dry at Leamington Ontario. I then go feet wet again at the south shore of Lake St Claire and feet dry at the mouth of the channel leading to Lake Huron. If I go IFR or use flight following, I never talk to a Canadian controller (Columbus, Mansfield, Cleveland, Detriot, Selfrige). Or, VFR, I may not talk to anyone. No ADIZ flight plan, not NavCanada fees. |

Jack Daniels, Bubonic Plague and any beer imprinted with the phrase "Union Made" are all pretty much banned here. The good news is that all single malts and premium Irish Whiskeys are tax exempt. In fact, the premium singles even come with a cash back, free radio licence, free flight following and lots of other goodies. Just send me your address and a list of exactly what you will be bringing - I'll take care of the rest Tony -- Tony Roberts PP-ASEL VFR OTT Night Cessna 172H C-GICE |

BJ,
You might try checking out the AOPA website or calling them. I've never flown to Canada or over it, but I do know that AOPA advises people of non-US flights regularly. -Malcolm Teas |

"Paul Tomblin" wrote in message ... In a previous article, "B. Jensen" said: I have a question regarding flying over Canada VFR without landing in Canada. For instance, if I takeoff from Saginaw, MI and fly VFR to upstate NY, I would fly in Canadian airspace. If I don't land in Canada, and since my flight originated in the US, what requirements, if any, are there for doing this? Is a VFR flight plan required, do you need a FCC radio license for your aircraft since you would be transmitting in Canadian airspace, and are there any ATC fees to pay for using Canadian airspace? You need to be talking to some ATC while you're crossing the border. It's easiest if you get flight following the whole way. NavCanada will send the aircraft owner a bill for $15, but will cover the aircraft for the whole quarter, if you decide to do it again. Nobody is going to board your plane in mid-air to look for a radio license. The last question is, what would be the difference if I did this same flight IFR? Well, it makes it easier to be talking to somebody as you cross the border. Otherwise, no change. -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ When C++ is your hammer, everything looks like a thumb. -- Steven M. Haflich I have flown through Canadian airspace from the US to AK numerous times (always IFR) and never recieved a bill for it. I flew from Europe to the US, which involved three landings in Canada and I was billed byNav Canada that time. I think that you are only billed if you land in Canada. Mike MU-2 |
