How do I check weather while flying in Canada? Is there a 800-WX-BRIEF
in Canada? Where do I file my domestic Canadian flight plans? The AOPA
packet didn't include any of this information.

Go he

http://www.weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/canada_e.html
read local, then select aviation/metars/tafs, satellite/upper
winds/whatever you want. It is THE Canadian aviation weather site

Actually, the link above just winds up going here anyway:
http://www.flightplanning.navcanada.ca/
.... so you can save a step and go there directly!

Also, the FAA/NOAA ADDS site (http://adds.aviationweather.noaa.gov/)
can retrieve Canadian & international METARs & TAFs, if you know the
airport code. They even provide a huge list of worldwide wx reporting
stations, so you can look the codes up. Pretty cool, actually.

I do like the fact that Nav Canada give you both the TAFs & METARs on the
same page, though. Makes comparing & checking the forecasts w/ actual wx
easier!
