Pilots are strongly encouraged to refer to the Aeronautical Information Publication Canada (A.I.P. Canada) for comprehensive pre-flight information, and to other publications that apply to the intended flight. A list of publications and charts appears on pages 2, 3 and 4. NOTAMs are normally available at major airports and from all FSSs. Pilots planning to fly their aircraft into Canada should be well acquainted with the aeronautical facilities and services that are available, as outlined in the Canada Flight Supplement (CFS). It is their responsibility to obtain required publications and charts, and to consult the latest NOTAM to ensure that they have all the current information pertinent to their proposed flight. If the proposed flight will be within the sparse l y settled areas of Canada, special skills and knowl e d g e on the part of pilots are req u i r ed as radio aids to navi g ation might be limited or non-existent.

  • Advisory Circular Offers Guidance to Users of the Airspace System That Take Part in the North American Route Program (NRP)
    Advisory U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Circular Administration Subject: NORTH AMERICAN ROUTE Date: 6/20/2008 AC No: PROGRAM Initiated by: AJR-133 90-103 1. PURPOSE. This advisory circular offers guidance to users of the airspace system that take part in the North American Route Program (NRP). The NRP is a tool for route planning purposes and aircraft participating in the NRP remain limited to a route of flight that can be conducted in accordance with the communication and navigation equipment on board the aircraft. (See 14 CFR §91.205 and §121.349) 2. CANCELLATION. Advisory Circular 90-91H and associated appendices 1 and 2, dated July 30, 2004, North American Route Program, are cancelled. 3. BACKGROUND. The North American Route Program is a joint venture between the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and NAV CANADA. The aim of the NRP is to harmonize and adopt common procedures, to the extent possible, applicable to random route flight operations at and above flight level 290 within the conterminous United States and Canada. The NRP has been carried out through various phases with the end result of allowing all international and domestic flight operations to take part in the NRP throughout the conterminous United States, Alaska, and Canada. This program allows aircraft operators to select beneficial routings. These route selections may be based on factors such as minimum time, cost, fuel, weather avoidance, aircraft limitations, and/or other factors. 4. PARTICIPATION. Flights may take part in the NRP within the conterminous United States and Canada, and for North Atlantic international flights.
