Canada airspace, and RNAV (GNSS) approach

[IndyTim]

I'm doing a sanity check since I haven't flown in Canadian airspace before.  I think I've got everything regarding customs procedures, paperwork, radio/operators license, etc etc all worked out.  

 

Regarding instrument approaches, my destination airport has an RNAV (GNSS) approach.  I believe that, with Canada data in my GNS430, I can fly an RNAV (GNSS) approach on an ICAO plan since I'm RNAV 1,2 and 5 capable.

 

Am I missing anything?

 

Interestingly, Jeppesen want $170 for a one-time update to add Canada data to my 430, but for $100 they'll bump me from United States to all Americas, for a year.  I don't claim I will ever understand Jepp pricing.

The reason is simple... the $100 is a recognition that they screwed you already on the USA package and only want to screw you a little more...I paid $700 CDN for the year which is outrageous.

First stop after entering Canadian airspace you will have stop have your altimeter converted to metres, airspeed to kilometres, fuel gauges to litres and your time piece to kiloframs. Other than these requirements you'll be fine.

Enjoy Canada. Drop in the Canada data and have fun. 

 

Here's the NavCanada Information Circular that basically states if you've got US FAA approved equipment then you're GTG up North.

As a foreign visitor you will be able to apply for a refund of HST once you depart for home. Save your receipts, Enjoy!

i don't plan to spend any money other than minimum fuel, and rent on a cabin. At this point I have a policy that if I'm getting taxed then, well, I'll just try not to buy anything. Of course, here in Missouri, that means trying not to own anything taxable either, since we get to pay annual property tax on any asset the gubment can require a decal on.. Including aircraft which bites, big time.

I'll spend my week with some cousins in search of trophy walleye.
