We had a team briefing and took off with nice weather from runway 24 in Kortrijk. We tried to fly as direct as possible letting controllers and the leader Macksolo of the formation dealing with proper clearances. This would be a formation flight with a dedicated callsign “Waffles”, which made the controllers chuckle.

It has a mid-time engine (O-320-D3G rated at 160 hp), fairly recent annual inspection and 24 month pitot-ptatic/transponder test. Following a check of the weather, NOTAMS and TFR’s, you are confronted with some decisions to make. The weather is VMC but it’s hot, and the density altitude is really creeping up there.

Weather reporting at the destination isnt required so long as some reliable source says theres at least 1000-foot ceilings and three miles visibly. Dont be fooled because you still have a transponder code. You must maintain VFR cloud clearances appropriate for the airspace. First off, conditions must be basically VFR.

A small button on the transponder control panel activates the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) test function. I really enjoy the walk-around and never delegate in bad weather… typhoon, snow, sunshine, I don’t care. After scribbling down the clearance, the pilot will read it back to the controller for confirmation.

Priority clearance may be possible to arrange, at CIQ’s discretion, to allow you to clear at a separate counter in the main clearance hall. For departure to non-EU destinations, CIQ clearance is necessary. You’ll require a Mode C transponder, Airborne Collision Avoidance System (ACAS) II, and Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT).

CANPASS is a program offered by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) that allows pre-approved, low-risk travelers to expedite their clearance process when entering Canada. This means that pilots must have a two-way communication device, such as a radio, and a transponder that will allow ATC to identify their aircraft’s location.

You check the weather, get information Charlie, and then tune up tower frequency. Consider what calls might come up given the route of flight and the types of airspace and weather it might pass through. Say you are approaching the Grand Prairie Municipal Airport from the south in a Cessna 12345 and want to make a full stop landing.
