Useful hints to make your trip smooth and enjoyable
Itinerary
-
Set up your schedule with dates and times
-
Choose an airport of entry. All international airports are airports of entry. Passport and customs control will be there upon arrival
-
Choose your destination or multiple destinations in the countries you wish to visit. While many controlled domestic airports provide English ATS and foreign aircraft are permitted to land there, few others do not have English speaking controllers and foreign aircraft are not allowed there
-
Contrary to popular belief VFR is allowed on any safe altitude (some restrictions apply)
-
Plan your routing between airports. Some airways are not open for international traffic, try avoiding them
-
Choose airport of exit on your way from the country. Farewell passport and customs control are usually fast and simple
Permits
-
CAA normally will grant a permit upon presenting your itinerary and aircraft documents
-
PPRs are usually not mandatory, but it is a good practice to have them to assure you are being waited for
-
Slots are mandatory only in slot-coordinated airports
