Looking for any advice/input anyone would care to volunteer about flying from US into and out of Vancouver, BC.

I have read the AOPA info. on cross border requirements, but would like to hear from been there / done that experience.

I’ll be flying from NorCal into Victoria Intl. CYYJ which is an AOE. Coming back I’ll be stopping in Eugene, Ore KEUG, then on to San Jose, Ca. Was planning on using Portland-Hillsboro (KHIO) as returning AOE.

Any advice/help is appreciated.

This is a fairly recent requirement that so far applies to those flying across the border but not driving. Also, I'm a little surprised that you intend to check in back in the US in Oregon and not Washington. Maybe it doesn't matter, but I thought it was normal practice to check in at one of the nearest to the border US airports, such as Bellingham or Friday Harbor.

It is going well (after a long delay due to a kitchen remodel that took 3 months) but I'm not -quite- there, and want advice. In general the fit along the split between the forward top skin and the skin on the canopy frame is good. At least the amount of gap is good. As I move out from the center, past where the 'goose-neck hinges' go, the canopy frame skin starts to ride a little high. In the center I have it shimmed so that it is intentionally a little high, of course, to clear the forward skin. But along those curves leading down to the side of the fuselage I need to either lower the canopy frame skin, or shim up the forward skin. Either works for me. On the left-hand side (facing forward) it is almost perfect. I have less than 1/64th of an inch of gap and am quite happy. On the right-hand side (again, facing forward) I'm not so happy. I have about 1/16th of an inch of gap and I'd like to close that a bit. A suggestion I got from Scott Risan was to shave down the canopy frame bow along the front such that there is less distance for the skin to cover, and thus pulling that problem edge down lower. I have done that a _tiny_ bit, but before I shaved more off of the frame I thought I'd solicit any other input from the collected wisdom of the list. If I can close that 1/16 inch gap, I'll call it good enough and will be ready to drill the hinges and move on. I really really want to move on. So ... help! :) Anyone got any more advice beyond what Scott suggested? If so, I'm all ears. -- Dwight ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 01:42:34 PM PST US From: "David Burton" Subject: RE: RV-List: Into - Out of Vancouver BC Take a look here Randy: http://www.vansairforce.org/misc/us_arrive/ _____ From: owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of McFarland, Randy Sent: Monday, May 21, 2007 11:05 AM Subject: RV-List: Into - Out of Vancouver BC Looking for any advice/input anyone would care to volunteer about flying from US into and out of Vancouver, BC.

My panel plans have changed dramatically. I have placed 12 items on eBay, guages, avionics,etc. Just go to eBay.com , search for item # 220113195029 and view "sellers other items" for the entire list. Great items, just no longer needed. Randy Russell ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 11:28:43 PM PST US From: Fiveonepw@aol.com Subject: RV-List: Sniffle Valve I am installing a Lycoming sniffle valve (included in Vans FWF kit) to an Aerosport IO-360 and would like to confirm its intended operation. I "think" it is basically a check valve that should open when manifold pressure is equal to atmospheric (engine not running) to drain any fuel pooled in the sump. Engine running, it should close when manifold pressure drops. The valve I have flows freely when blowing into the sump side, but still passes a bit of air when blown into from the tube side, which I surmise would constitute a small vacuum leak and possible leaner than normal operation. Is this normal?
