I know there are quite a few Rv'ers in Canada and we may take the RV into Canada next year and was wondering if any of you knew if Canadian VFR charts were available online like Skyvector or Runwayfinder.
That is if the Internet has reached Canada yet? J/K
I found some links where this question was asked but it just took me to a site that offers the charts for sale.
Thanks, Scott

Hi Scott
What is this "internet thing". I heard someone named Gore invented it, along
with global warming.
In Canada we don't use aviation maps, we just follow the roads and railways
and use auto club maps...
That being said, I don't know of any place where you can get Canadian
aviation maps online. If you want, I can get the maps you need and send them
to you. In Canada we have the Canadian Flight Supplement (similar to the US
AF/D) which lists all airports in Canada (last count I think there were six
or seven).
We also have the CAP (Canada Air Pilot) which contains all our instrument
approaches (my favorite is the cat and duck approach). This comes in several
editions, each covering a different area in Canada.
We also have Low Level Enroute charts used for IFR but also handy for flight
planning.
Customs in Canada is a lot less stressful than in the US. The CanPass system
is a breeze. You will need to deal with Eapis on your re-entry into the
states however. I hope you are getting all the TSA security you seem to be
buying....
When visiting here, keep in mind that our firearm restrictions are
significant so leave the guns at home. I only mention this as I know of
people who have had problems with handguns etc when coming into Canada.
This is more than you asked for but it may help in your planning.
If I can be of help, feel free to drop me a note directly. If you are in
Edmonton (Alberta) I could even find a bed or two for you.
Cheers
Les

Hello Scott
I'm not aware of online charts either. I had been following your site quite closely during our build and appreciate that you have that site. I also would like to welcome you to Canada and would be glad to put you up if you chose to visit our end of Nova Scotia. We are not what I would call a remote area but we are at the south end of the province. That being said, by air not far from Maine.
Ron

As you probably realize by now, Canadian aeronautical charts/data are not available on line. The issue is with Nav Canada and a propriety issue. I know of a couple of US companies that have tried to get Canadian data for their GPS systems and Nav Canada stone walled them in a big way.
As far as I know the only companies that have the data (besides Nav Canada) are Jeppeson and maybe Garmin (but I'm of the impression Garmin data comes from Jeppeson?). I`m sure Jeppeson pays a heft price for the data too.
Charts/data can be purchased from "Aeronautical Publications, Sales and Distribution Centre" in Ottawa (1-800-731-PUBS).
IMHO, Nav Canada is a PITA but Transport Canada, a long tme ago sold us out, so this is what we Canadians have to deal with. Be thankful of the FAA because they`re much more far sighted and proactive with regards to general aviation. (rant off).
Regards,
Rick

I don't know how complete it is, and it's not the same as
having a sectional, but Voyager does have the airways
and airport data from the looks of it. I panned up
and planned a flight into Canada as a test, and terrain
shows up, with airways, navaids, and airports. So at
least the electronic version has the critical data.
The airport data is there too when you click on the
airports.
So it seems to at least be a good supplement to paper.
Is there anyone in Canada who uses it who can verify?

Thanks for the replies. I will order some charts it looks like.
I have worked with quite a few people in Calgary and Edmonton and it is always fun to banter with them.
It would be great to visit Nova Scotia someday but if I am there I may want to keep heading to Europe!
