Radiotelephone permit for Canada

The AOPA Canada briefing summary says a Radiotelephone Operator's
permit is required for flight into Canada. I did some checking at the
FCC website and it appears that the cost for this piece of paper is
$100. Or am I looking at the wrong piece of paper. Flying is
admittedly expensive, but this seems too much for what appears to be a
pretty trivial document.

you want a restricted radiotelephone license

you can get one online at http://wireless.fcc.gov/uls , the cost is $50 iirc
for processing, no test required, and is good for life.

And you'll never ever ever be asked for it.

Don't even get me started on the MCSEs I know. It's a miracle of
modern technology that some of these fsckwits still draw breath,
much less a paycheck. -- Marc Bowden

Unless you go to Mexico. Yes, I know you MAY not be asked for it there
either. But who wants to take the chance?

My wife is pilot and is from Canada. We live in the US. We own two different
aircraft and average four trips to the Calgary area from the States each year.
In about 20 trans-border flights, the Canadians have never asked to see an ROP.

They routinely ask for:
Registration
Pilot's Licence
Medical
Proof of Insurance.

They always ask if we are carrying firearms...

Mike, who's asking for these documents? Is it Customs? My trips
through I wasn't asked anything except about firearms...but that was in
2000.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.

Especially since when I got mine to many years ago, they were free.
Thankfully they're good for a lifetime.

This document is not required since at least 5 years in an airplane in
Canada.
