               Ramble Paperwork Notes

You will need a Special Flight Authorization letter if you fly a homebuilt across the border.

- Web address for downloading U.S. FAA  S.F.A. letter - (needed for Canadian Amateur-Built aircraft to fly in U.S.A. ) 
                       http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/gen_av/ultralights/sfa/       

  * Note that the rules now say this form must be DISPLAYED in the aircraft !

- Web address for downloading of Canadian SFA Letter - (for U.S. Experimental Aircraft to fly in Canada)      http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/gen_av/ultralights/sfa/

     **** ONE (your country) of the ABOVE is required to be ON BOARD the aircraft to be LEGAL ****

- Also note that Public Liability Insurance MUST be carried to fly in Canada
                                  - check minimum requirements !

    ( I <think> that $100,000 is minimum, BUT $1 Million is more reasonable !)

- Customs form 339-A - Annual User Fee Decal Request - Aircraft ..
      ..
MUST be filled in at time of clearing Customs, unless you already have a decal.
                         Fee is $27.50 USD, Credit card only.
 Best if applied for ONLINE,
and stuck on before - OR can be obtained from Customs at time of entry.
(better to have beforehand !)  Apply at:    http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/toolbox/forms/ 

- Customs form 178 - Private Aircraft Enforcement System Arrival Report ..
       ..
MUST be filled in at time of clearing US Customs ( NO charge ) .
 Download - or may be obtained at entry time. Customs REALLY like these to be filled in already when you arrive - otherwise, DELAYS can result ! ( You should have EXTRA forms
ready in case we decide to return to Canada on the return trip, and re-enter the USA closer
to home. )      D/L & print from:     http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/toolbox/forms/ 

- Customs MUST be telephoned at least 2 hours BEFORE arrival - ADCUS on flight
  plans is NOT enough !! 
              ( We will try to call ONCE, for the whole group, IF we are ALL together ! )

- A Flight Plan MUST be filed to cross the border (at most airports ...)
(IF we all fly together, we can file ONE plan for a "flight of 20" - OR, different groups of
 similar speeds might file as "flight of 6",  "1, plus 3",  etc. .... )

A transponder is required for crossing the border (at most airports ...)
   - OR - a "No Transponder Waiver"  (Requests must be faxed at least 7 days early !)
- Web address for downloading TSA WAIVER REQUEST FORM -
     -  UNITED STATES/CANADA BORDER CROSSING WITHOUT TRANSPONDER

   This page also has information about the current NOTAM.
   http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/newsitems/2001/011221waivers.html

- Ramble Name Tags, and Ramble 2008 Buttons will be filled in & given out
   before leaving Brampton, or enroute, for those joining us along the way.

    Please wear them for Press Interviews and Chapter/Club Visits en route.

the maps we need, and a new Canadian Flight Supplement. You might want the US Flight Guides for Western & Central, as well...
