Flying between Canada and the United States

Please see the 2019 AOPA flying guide below, Cross Borders. The guide looks at a flight one step at a time, and answers many of the “What if” questions that come up as a pilot prepares for the journey. The guide also includes a Cross-Border travel checklist, information on departing and returning to the United States and U.S. Customs special procedures. Countries included in the guide in addition to Canada are: Bahamas, Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America.

The 16-page guide is one of several initiatives AOPA is pursuing with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and other government agencies and industry groups to streamline international flights for the GA pilot.
