US Pilots Airport Of Entry Information

Flying into Canada

For US pilots flying into Canada, the procedure is very simple. You may have heard rumours that post-9/11 the US-Canadian border crossing process is more difficult (and there may indeed be delays at the land crossings), but for pilots and passengers arriving in Canada it is quite painless - and in fact easier than returning to the US.

Niagara District Airport is an official Canadian Airport of Entry. Canadian Customs/Immigration service is available 24 hours, seven days a week on a call-out basis by Dialing (888) 226-7277 two hours prior to your arrival. Customs staff attend the airport to carry out random spot checks and may or may not meet your plane. A valid US passport is required for returning to the U.S. and is recommended for flights into Canada.

Some US pilots wanting to visit the Niagara Falls (and view them from the Canadian side), land at Niagara Falls (US) Airport and drive across the border, facing a real possibility of road bridge customs delays in both directions. Flying directly into Niagara District Airport is much the better option.

Returning to the United States

Returning US pilots must re-enter the US through a US Airport of Entry. If your home base is not an Airport of Entry, then plan to touch down at a location with Customs/Immigration en route home – Niagara Falls (US) and Buffalo both provide entry officials.

You will require a Homeland Security Decal for display on your aircraft – these are available on-line for a one-time fee of $27.50 at www.cbp.gov - click on Travel and scroll down to User Fee Decals and Transponders.

You will also need to complete a US Customs Form 178 for the trip, listing your and your passenger nationalities. These are available on-line at www.cbp.gov - click on Forms.
