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

filed flight plans for aircraft departing from Canada.
Refer individuals to the appropriate NAVCANADA
facility to file flight plans out of Canada. Do not
accept roundrobin flight plans to international
locations, other than Canada.
b. The operational system should automatically
format the required items of the flight notification
message when activated. Deliver VFR and IFR
ADCUS to the CBP. File IFR messages after
delivery.
c. Facilities acknowledge receipt of flight notification messages as soon as practical by transmitting
the letter “R” followed by the full aircraft
identification; for example, R N711VR. Suspense
VFR flight notification messages until arrival or
closure information is received. Remove IFR
messages from the inbound list 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 8882267277
and include CANPASS in the remarks section of the

contacted CANPASS, place CANPASS in the
remarks section of the flight plan. Process outbound
flight plans in accordance with Chapter 6 and
subparas 743d 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.
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. The operational system will automatically format the
required items and transmit the flight notification
message when activated if the proposed flight plan was
filed in accordance with subparas 743d and 743e.
2. Facilities address messages to the destination relay
facility listed in FAAO JO 7350.8, Location Identifiers.
