International Flying
May be doing some international flying soon and want to get started on
my homework before doing so. When I was in college a professor showed us a website that did a good job of informing a pilot on the rules of flying internationally. It provided info about flight plans, airspace/airport fees, and customs. Does anyone know of this site or one like it? Doogie |

AOPA is a good starting point for non-pro pilots. The state department warnings are far far out of date and nearly useless. ICAO rules are essentially the same as what you are accustomed to but be prepared for a lot more paperwork like flight plans for local flights, etc. Oddly enough, I've been licensed in at least 15 countries and it isn't all that much different. Coming back into the USA is the most stringent and unforgiving so make sure you are up to speed on the re-entry requirements. I have often felt like I was a hostile intruder coming back into the USA being questioned by people that barely spoke english! That really sets me off.... Rocky |
