wondering what the rule was, especially since I didn't know if I would be in
out of the way places since I'm on floats. You've answered all my other
questions. I've been flying long enough that I do have a radio operator
license and the plane is old enough that it has a radio station license.
I've got a current Water Aerodrome Supplement which has the intercept
signals in it. I've got a CFS too that's not too old. Thanks again.

mandatoryI've got a few questions for you guys in Canada. Are flight plans
USor 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
48,(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
I'mbut it's been awhile. Sorry about using the builder's list for this but
floats.leaving next Wednesday for my trip to Seattle in a C-185 on straight
Hi MikeTrying to get my ducks lined up.

You need to file a flight plan or flight itinery if traveling more than 25
nautical miles. The flight itinery you can leave with any competent person.
The flight plan is quick and it's easy to follow the instructions. That
being said I think there's an awful lot of breakfast flights that go
without notifying anybody around here in southern ont. where the wheat and
edible beans have been harvested and half the land within gliding distance
is a runway. In the mountains it's just a little more hostile and I'm sure
I'd be filing. The WX brief # is all across Canada. Calling flight service
you say radio. You can get weather by calling flight service on 126.7 all
across Canada. Sometimes you can get flight following if the controllers
aren't too busy and you're in radar range. Get a copy of the CFS (Canada
flight supplement) it has all the airports listed so you can get the
current weather from the ones that have ATIS. plus it's Mandatory that you
carry a copy of the intercept signals Which is in the back of the book. Oh
and to be legal you need a radio license although it's extremely unlikely
that you'll be asked for it.
