Section 4. Canadian Movement and Control Messages (Transborder Flights Only)
7-4-1. GENERAL
Except as indicated in this section, handle transborder Canadian movement and control messages as described in Sections 1, 2, and 3. Do not pass ADCUS messages to NAV CANADA, as they no longer alert Canadian Customs to inbound flights. CANPASS authorizations are the obligation of the pilot, at the number in subpara 7-4-3a.
7-4-2. INBOUNDS FROM CANADA
a. M1 will automatically acknowledge and suspense a VFR flight notification message if received in the proper format. Deliver VFR and IFR ADCUS to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. File IFR messages after delivery.
b. AISR facilities acknowledge receipt of flight notification messages as soon as practical by transmitting the letter R followed by the full aircraft identification; e.g., R N711VR. Suspense VFR flight notification messages until arrival or closure information is received. File IFR messages after delivery.
7-4-3. OUTBOUNDS TO CANADA
a. When Customs notification service is requested advise the pilot to contact Canada's Private Aircraft Program for Customs (CANPASS) at 888-226-7277 and include CANPASS in the remarks section of the flight plan. If the pilot has contacted CANPASS, place CANPASS in the remarks section of the flight plan. Process outbound flight plans in accordance with Chapter 6 and subparas 7-4-3d and e.
b. Accept Customs notification requests from inflight aircraft for relay via flight notification message only for airports of entry where Customs flight notification service is provided and when proposed ETA is during Customs service hours. NAV CANADA no longer passes ADCUS messages to Canadian Customs.
c. Upon notification of departure of VFR flights,transmit a flight notification message directly to the destination Canadian relay facility. Include CANPASS in the remarks.
NOTE-
1. M1 will format and address a flight notification message to a Canadian destination airport if the proposed flight plan was filed in accordance with subparas 7-4-3d and 7-4-3e.
2. AISR facilities address messages to the destination relay facility listed in FAAO JO 7350.8, Location Identifiers. AISR facilities transmit flight notification messages for VFR flights in accordance with para 6-4-4, Flight Notification Messages. Flight notification messages included the type of flight plan as the first item of the notification message. CANPASS is required in the remarks, as appropriate.
3. OASIS facilities shall enter CANPASS in the Remarks text box of the Flight Plan dialog box. OASIS will automatically format and transmit a flight notification message to the tie-in destination facility.
