I've got a lot of homework to do to get across the border and through Canadian airspace. If I had my druthers, I'd rather not jump through all the hoops. Plus, when I get back into Alaska at Northway, I have to pay 25.00 for a Customs Sticker. Its good for one year, but I won't use it for more than this flight. There is also an issue with getting a TSA Waiver for crossing the border with a non-transponder equipped aircraft. I had a problem with this the day I filed my flight plan to cross over from Eureka, MT, to Cranbrook, BC. Took most of the afternoon to finally get approval to fly without the transponder. I had not problems with the actual flight not having that particular piece of paper. Had me going for a while. I was using a telephone nailed to a telephone pole on an airstrip with no facilities. Getting nothing but the run around from Flight Service. Sometimes they are not there to help the lonely pilot. ;-) John W got me some reference material, last year, on procedure for obtaining Non Transponder Waiver. -------- John Hauck MKIII/912ULS hauck's holler, alabama Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=233711#233711 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 09:29:12 AM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: WWII Flight Training Museum and Flight to Douglas, GA From: "John Hauck" Turned out to be a fun flight, good cross country training, plus got to put more names with new faces. Had a good time. Discovered my XC, camping, surviving skills were a bit rusty. Watched a very professional arrival of Cristal and her buddy in the gyro flying close formation over Douglas Airport. Breakfast was good. Lot's of strong coffee. Enjoyed my tour of the WWII Flight Training Museum. The foks at Douglas have put a lot of time, effort, and money, into preserving an important part of our aviation history. Worth the trip into Douglas to see. MKIII and 912 performed well. Glad I had the opportunity to visit with Cristal and Brother Jim. -------- John Hauck MKIII/912ULS hauck's holler, alabama Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=233715#233715 ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 11:54:51 AM PST US From: "The Kuffels" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Re: Alaska 2009 << Do you already have one of the new ELT's installed in Miss P'fer?

Canada has officially ruled that a 406 MHz PLB is not an acceptable substitute for a 406 MHz ELT so 2010 is a different story.

It is the old freq. model, but it will cover you on your trip. Drop it off on your way back.
