Canadian Flight Planniing
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 11:51 pm
I've got a few questions for you guys in Canada. Are flight plans mandatory
or optional as they are in the US? I know they are mandatory for both
countries for border crossings. I know they did away with mandatory
position reporting a long time ago. Also, does 1-866-WXBRIEF work anywhere
in Canada for Flight Service? I found that number listed in the Water
Aerodrome Supplement for some aerodromes. 1-800-WXBRIEF works anywhere in
the US so I thought it might be the same in Canada with 866 instead of 800.
When calling Flight Service on the radio, do you use the phrase "radio" as
in "Kamloops Radio, Cessna november 4507 juliet..."? Is there such a thing
as the US Flight Watch in Canada. In the US, you can get weather
information by tuning in 122.0 and calling "Flight Watch" anywhere in the US
(supposed to be anywhere, but I've been unsuccessful getting them in some
locations). I've been back and forth twice between Alaska and the lower 48,
but it's been awhile. Sorry about using the builder's list for this but I'm
leaving next Wednesday for my trip to Seattle in a C-185 on straight floats.
Trying to get my ducks lined up.
