They like 7 days to process, but if you fax it today, you may still get it in time. You will also need this waiver form which is just downloaded from the web, and you just carry it with your other papers.

When you fly back to Abbotsford, you need to contact this number, 1-888-YVR-CODE to give them your waiver authorization number. If you don't have one, then you can request a waiver, but it should be done in advance, days ahead would be recommended (you can do it from Calgary), and you will probably have to ask for a supervisor before they eventually will give it to you. Bruce G. went through this a couple of years ago when he flew back with me.
As it happens, Bruce is coming back up from Arlington as well, so unless he has a transponder now, will likely go through the same procedure as you. I will be down there on Saturday, and will likely fly back either Sat evening or on Sunday, same route as yourself, Abbotsford and then to Langley. So depending on when you are going, you might be able to join us. Yes, at Abbotsford and Langley, if you stay below 2500 you're OK. But would still advise getting a Vancouver VTA, which can be bought at Langley, for flying around the area. I keep my plane at Langley. Here is the website for that.

And for that matter, Garry, not sure what your plans are, but if you can make it, you should join Bruce and I for some local flying around BC during the week after Arlington. You won't need floats for some of the places we go. In any case, hope to meet up with you at some point.

Subject: [rebel-builders] Langley and Abbotford
I'm hoping to bring FOKM to Arlington next week. My intent is to
returnto Canada via Abbotsford customs and then west to Langley
for a meeting.
I do not have a transponder and am not familiar with local
procedures so
will like some confirmation from locals there. I read that I can stay
out of class C space which requires mode c by staying under 2500
ASL in
that area. Otherwise there should be no problems with airspace. Am I
correct in that?
Garry
