Doing IFR training and crossing the border

[Klinkaroo]

I think I read somewhere that you can't conduct Canadian flight training over the border (I.E. Depart Boundary Bay, BC on an IFR training flight with a flight instructor and land at let's say Boeing Field, WA) but I can't seem to find anything with all my Google searching. I could be terribly wrong but I thought I'd ask because it would be nice to combine some IFR training with actually going somewhere.

Typically IFR training flights don't involve actual landing at the airports where you shoot approaches. The instructor would pretty much have you do the miss approach just before you get down to minimum.

I have flown into US airports, but did not land and come back to land at my home airport this way.

I don't see any reason why you couldn't take off in
Canada, do approaches in the USA, then fly home
again without touching down as long as:

You file a flight plan, and

IAW the FAA NOTAM, you get a squawk code
from USA ATC before border crossing.

No EAPIS required, no passports.

.... as long as you don't get forced into landing
in the USA (bad wx, aircraft problem, etc).

If your instructor doesn't know this, get another
instructor.

So I'm assuming that if you can fly in and shoot an approach. The the "flight training" portion of the flight is legal. I understand that if wheels touch the ground you need to go through customs and all that jazz like any other flight.

My assumption then would be that if you can fly in US airspace and shoot an approach then you can fly in US airspace and shoot an approach and land if you did all the customs steps.

Yup. Simpler than ARM assembly, but not much.

Line 267 is pretty nifty IMHO:



and the elegance of line 274. Sigh.

Whose horrible way of delineating comments is *that*?

[Colonel Sanders]

I suspect an old K&R (pre-ansi) programmer

I converted to C++ comments many years ago.
Only thing worthwhile about that language, IMHO!

PS This is like going to a boxing match, and having
a hockey game break out.

NOOOOOO Shudder, bad memories invoked, Double Shudder, make it stop

Where's GoldenEagle, the west coast 421 guy
when you really need him? He's another embedded
software guy. This would be duck soup for him.
