The procedures, language and love of general aviation are shared by both countries and will make your trip a very smooth one. The procedures for crossing the border are boiled down into a short one-page checklist at the back of this book; the intervening pages amplify them and provide additional information about the slight variances between Canadian and United States regulations and procedures, in order to make your trip an enjoyable success. Please keep in mind that this is a guide and as such is not a legal document covering the rules and regulations of each country. For official flight information you will need to reference the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) for Canada and the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) for the United States. These publications are both available on the internet and also on paper from the respective government agencies. Contact information is in Appendix A. Additional publications that will be useful include the Canada Flight Supplement, Airport/Facility Directory, and aeronautical charts, all of which are discussed later in this chapter. Return to Table of Contents General Planning Experience has shown that the key to a smooth trip is adequate, organized, and early preparation. You have already accomplished the first step by obtaining this AOPA/COPA Guide to Cross-Border Operations. A careful and thorough review of this booklet in addition to reviewing more information available in the Canadian Operations area in AOPA Online’s members-only area and under the “Flying In Canada” tab of the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association (COPA) web site will help you in planning. Don’t wait until the day before your trip; some time will be necessary to collect and review documentation, get the maps and flight information publications you will need, plan customs notification and learn use of survival gear when required. It will be helpful to organize documents and equipment for convenient, ready access during your flight. When returning, separating items purchased abroad should further expedite customs clearance inspections. Circumstances will differ from person to person and may warrant alternative methods in some cases. Should you encounter a situation not addressed in this booklet or have any questions regarding the information it contains, you are encouraged to contact our Aviation Specialists at 800/872-2672 (AOPA) or 613/236-4901 (COPA). Return to Table of Contents The AOPA/COPA Guide to Cross Border Operations 7 Charts As you prepare for your cross-border flight, your first order of business will be to obtain the proper charts and supplements you’ll need for the trip. At a minimum, most pilots will need Sectional (U.S.) or Visual Navigation Charts (Canada) that cover the route and the Airport/Facility Directories (U.S.) or Canada Flight Supplement (the sole available paper airport directory for Canada). US charts show portions of Canada and Canadian charts show parts of the US. It is legal to fly on charts from the other country, but may not be advisable. In the past there have been numerous errors on US chart portions of Canada, showing airspace boundaries incorrectly, for instance. Canadian charts have also had inaccuracies in showing the US. You are advised to get the right national

  • Aviation Safety Regulation
    * Paul Stephen Dempsey McGill University Institute of Air & Space Law Some slides from Singapore CAA, France BEA, US FAA, ICAO and various websites. *The Chicago Convention of 1944 created the International Civil Aviation Organization [ICAO] and gave it quasi-legislative authority to promulgate standards and recommended practices [SARPs] as Annexes to the Chicago Convention. These standards are binding upon member States that fail to notify ICAO of the differences in their domestic law. * * Article 12 of the Convention requires every contracting State to keep its regulations uniform, to the greatest extent possible, with those established under the Convention. * Article 37 attempts to achieve uniformity in air navigation, by requiring that every contracting State cooperate in achieving the “highest practicable degree of uniformity in regulations, standards, procedures, and organization in relation to aircraft personnel, airways and auxiliary services in all matters in which uniformity will facilitate and improve air navigation.” * The sentence that follows provides, “[T]o this end [ICAO] shall adopt and amend from time to time . international standards and recommended practices and procedures” addressing various aspects of air navigation. * Therefore, ICAO’s 191 member States have an affirmative obligation to conform their domestic laws, rules, and regulations to the international leveling standards adopted by ICAO. * * Annex 1 (Personnel Licensing), Annex 6 (Operation of Aircraft), and Annex 8 (Airworthiness of Aircraft) require ICAO’s member States to promulgate domestic laws and regulations to certify airmen, aircraft, and aircraft operators as airworthy and competent to carry out safe operations in international aviation. * Subject to the notification of differences under Article 38 of the Convention, the legal regime effectively assumes that States are in compliance with these safety mandates.

  • General Aviation Activity and Airport Facilities
    New Hampshire State Airport System Plan Update CHAPTER 2 - AIRPORT SYSTEM INVENTORY 2.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the existing airport system in New Hampshire as of the end of 2001 and early 2002 and served as the database for the overall System Plan. As such, it was updated throughout the course of the study. This Chapter focuses on the aviation infrastructure that makes up the system of airports in the State, as well as aviation activity, airport facilities, airport financing, airspace and air traffic services, as well as airport access. Chapter 3 discusses the general economic conditions within the regions and municipalities that are served by the airport system. The primary purpose of this data collection and analysis was to provide a comprehensive overview of the aviation system and its key elements. These elements also served as the basis for the subsequent recommendations presented for the airport system. The specific topics covered in this Chapter include: S Data Collection Process S Airport Descriptions S Airport Financing S Airport System Structure S Airspace and Navigational Aids S Capital Improvement Program S Definitions S Scheduled Air Service Summary S Environmental Factors 2.2 DATA COLLECTION PROCESS The data collection was accomplished through a multi-step process that included cataloging existing relevant literature and data, and conducting individual airport surveys and site visits. Division of Aeronautics provided information from their files that included existing airport master plans, FAA Form 5010 Airport Master Records, financial information, and other pertinent data.

  • Chapter: 2. En Route Operations
    Chapter 2 En Route Operations Introduction The en route phase of flight is defined as that segment of flight from the termination point of a departure procedure to the origination point of an arrival procedure. The procedures employed in the en route phase of flight are governed by a set of specific flight standards established by 14 CFR [Figure 2-1], FAA Order 8260.3, and related publications. These standards establish courses to be flown, obstacle clearance criteria, minimum altitudes, navigation performance, and communications requirements. 2-1 fly along the centerline when on a Federal airway or, on routes other than Federal airways, along the direct course between NAVAIDs or fixes defining the route. The regulation allows maneuvering to pass well clear of other air traffic or, if in visual meteorogical conditions (VMC), to clear the flightpath both before and during climb or descent. Airways Airway routing occurs along pre-defined pathways called airways. [Figure 2-2] Airways can be thought of as three- dimensional highways for aircraft. In most land areas of the world, aircraft are required to fly airways between the departure and destination airports. The rules governing airway routing, Standard Instrument Departures (SID) and Standard Terminal Arrival (STAR), are published flight procedures that cover altitude, airspeed, and requirements for entering and leaving the airway. Most airways are eight nautical miles (14 kilometers) wide, and the airway Figure 2-1. Code of Federal Regulations, Title 14 Aeronautics and Space. flight levels keep aircraft separated by at least 500 vertical En Route Navigation feet from aircraft on the flight level above and below when operating under VFR.

  • Aircraft Accident Report: American Airlines, Inc., Mcdonnell Douglas
    Explosive decompression, American Airlines, Inc., McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10, N103AA, Near Windsor, Ontario, Canada, June 12, 1972 Micro-summary: On climb, this McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10 experienced an opening of a cargo door, explosive decompression, and a main cabin floor collapse, disrupting the flight control system. Event Date: 1972-06-12 at 1925 EST Investigative Body: National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), USA Investigative Body's Web Site: http://www.ntsb.gov/ Cautions: 1. Accident reports can be and sometimes are revised. Be sure to consult the investigative agency for the latest version before basing anything significant on content (e.g., thesis, research, etc). 2. Readers are advised that each report is a glimpse of events at specific points in time. While broad themes permeate the causal events leading up to crashes, and we can learn from those, the specific regulatory and technological environments can and do change. Your company's flight operations manual is the final authority as to the safe operation of your aircraft! 3. Reports may or may not represent reality. Many many non-scientific factors go into an investigation, including the magnitude of the event, the experience of the investigator, the political climate, relationship with the regulatory authority, technological and recovery capabilities, etc. It is recommended that the reader review all reports analytically. Even a "bad" report can be a very useful launching point for learning. 4. Contact us before reproducing or redistributing a report from this anthology. Individual countries have very differing views on copyright! We can advise you on the steps to follow.
