Default Another question about Canadian procedures

Hi Paul

You can file a flight itinerary with a resonsible person.
That can be as vague as - we're going to depart xyz at 1400, fly North
on a route to ABC. May divert 50 miles either side of track.
Anticipated return to ABC by 1700.
In fact you can even file that as a flight plan.

The whole point of it is that this is very hostile country - we spend
thousands of hours searching for one missing plane - and we would
appreciate some clues as to where to look. It is not a big brother thing
- it's a search and rescue thing.

The Canadian Flight Supplement says that flight plans or flight
itineraries are required for flights over 25nm from the aerodrome. So
what happens if I want to take a sight seeing flight, and I don't know how
far I'm going to go or what direction? Can't you just let the fancy take
you?
