FAA Makes it Easier to Cross Borders

by Mr. Flight on August 24th, 2006

Despite the current security climate, the FAA has just taken steps to make crossing borders in and out of the USA easier for GA aircraft. This was announced in a new NOTAM by the FAA. AOPA clarifies the text of the NOTAM:

Simply put, it requires that any U.S.-registered aircraft with a takeoff gross weight of 100,309 pounds or less that crosses a U.S. border be on an active IFR or VFR flight plan, squawk an ATC-assigned transponder code over a Mode C or Mode S transponder, maintain two-way radio contact with U.S. air traffic control, and comply with all U.S. Customs requirements.
