Hey Al,
This is not a direct reply to your question, but maybe of some
assistance. I don't know whether you followed a thread on the Rebel
list here a few months back, but we had Curt Martin fly over to
Windsor, from Pontiac, Michigan. Below is the information I sent to
him about landing here. He had no problems whatsoever. At the last
Rebel Builders meeting on May 5, A gentleman named Bernie Achat (sp)
flew his Elite in from Batavia, New York, and they stopped at
Hamilton, Ontario, to clear Customs. (They also went to visit the
Canadian Warbirds Aviation Museum on the Hamilton field, so paid no
landing fees.). No problems at all for them.
Anyway, this is what I sent to Curt.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"I did a bit of checking this afternoon, and found out that to enter
Canada by private plane, you and anyone with you will require two
pieces of photo ID, such as a passport, drivers license, birth
certificate, etc. Also, you have to phone ahead to TRC (??? I don't
know what that means, but that's what she called it) at 1-888-CANPASS
(that's 1-888-226-7277) a minimum of 1 hour, and preferably 2 hours,
before landing in Canada, and report your intentions to them (TRC).
They will then fax that information to the port of entry (Windsor is
YQG by the way). On landing, tell the tower you want to go to Gate 4,
FBO Customs. There is no charge for Customs service at Windsor
between 0800 and 2359 hours local time. You do not have to "check"
with them (Customs) to leave Canada, but you probably have to do
something in reverse to head back home. I would think that you would
be best to file your flight plan prior to doing the Customs thing for
both ways.
Canada has no problems with VFR flights, that is relative to 9-11 and
the US requirements for IFR in Class B air-space, but I don't know
about the other way on your returning. You probably know a ton more
about any of this than I do, but this is just in case. "

Have a nice trip. Wait until December when it warms up though.
Jeeezzz it's cold again here today.
Brian Lawson,
Windsor, Ontario.
