I've flown across the border a couple of times, clearing customs in Bellingham, Washington (KBLI). eAPIS, flight plan, taxi to the Customs ramp, stay in the plane until the Customs dudes come out to the plane. No problem.
Looked like complete gentleman. Great work all around
Thanks 👍
US Customs and Border Protection should spend some time with their Canadian counterparts and learn how to be nice and polite human beings!
Are they not polite?

I have flown into Canada as a private pilot, and also taken my own boat to Victoria and the Canadian Islands. When you arrive in Canada, they give you the feeling that you are welcome into their Country. They still do their job, but you feel welcome. If you are going on a boat, you only talk to them through a phone on the Customs dock and they are very respectful.
When you come back to the US, our US Customs treat you like you are a criminal, like you are smuggling something, they try to intimidate you with their questions. Very unwelcoming!. I happened to come back from Victoria at a time that a Canadian boat was approached by Customs at the dock and saw their interaction. I had to apologize to those folks after the Custom clearance for the way they were treated. Sad...

I was wondering what the real experience was like given that politeness is not what us law enforcement is known for.
The video sounded more like a marketing artifact than a genuine experience.
Thanks for the testimonial.
@@drumsticknuggets5123 I cross both the US and Canadian border for work 3-4 times a week. I would say it’s pretty even in terms of rude customs agents for both countries
A couple of years ago, I delivered an aircraft from Canada to the States. My flying career hasn't warranted cross-border flying and it was the first border crossing I had made in more than 30 years. I had never heard of EAPIS, but thanks to the Internet, and a little research, was able to file everything satisfactorily and the crossings (there and back) were completely uneventful. Customs agents on both sides were very courteous and much less 'intimidating' than my experiences with vehicle border crossings.
Over the years, I've taken many airline flights back and forth and have also been fortunate enough to have no issues with security and Customs (only one 'random' bag check). My poor wife, however, gets the full Monty on nearly every flight she takes, which I find quite amusing. She does not.
Going to Canada was grate, coming back to the U.S.A was like a trip to hell. that was 36 yrs ago. I will not do that again.
yes, as long as you pilot an aircraft of your own country's registration
This answered every question I had. Thanks!
He forgot to answer the question we're all interested in: where to store the cocaine we're trying to smuggle. XD
This is not how we Mexican pilots get treated when we cross into the US. I fly often into Mcallen, TX and it is way different.
Regil hola que tal? Tengo una duda. Me podrias decir a cuantos metros de altura tengo que volar en un ultraligero, para no ser detectado por el radar?
^^^JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJJAJJAJAJAJAJAJAJ
I know how you feel , Hispanic , middle Easter name and if you have a FELONY that is 25 year old , they treat you like a criminal those U.S Custom Agent .
This video is just over 5 years old. Would like to see a newer edition, since things change quickly sometimes. Example, I used to Ski every weekend and sometimes go into Canada, (Quebec) and Ski, back then it was really no big deal but there were subtle changes, especially coming back into the U.S.. I am a Pilot and would like to fly to Canada and Bahama's, which I have researched. Do you need any kind of stamps for your plane as in the Bahama's? Also, this video looks way too planned out, those border guards were way too co-operative, Hard to believe anyone in a position of authority would be so helpful and polite.
i crossed into the states just over a month ago, went pretty much exactly like the video.
11 years old now. But still a good informational video
Thanks for sharing , planning to get my PPL in Waterloo , ON .
Yeah it's like a human going through security checks, except its a plane
Love this channel!
This guys r heroes
this was very helpful i am looking into getting my pilots license
Awesome!
15 to 20 years go coming back in from Baja, at Calexico we had U.S Customs plant some "dope" in one of our group "Flying Sams" airplane with out first telling the pilot. They said it was a training thing for their dog, but quite a shock for the pilot when coming back to his plane after being inside doing his paperwork.
should of recorded it , training mission for dog , then take them all to Federal court and sue them for harassment .
Dope is legal in USA.. It's delivered and Trafficed by the Police & CIA. No Mom & Pop operation could traffic like the police & Government does it. Killing our kids & Families. Its easy to control Doppers. To see this.. You need to be smarter than a 5th grader or just wake up. Drug enforcement is to jail people and to protect big Pharmaceuticals Money.
911 changed all that. For 30+ year we would go to Canada being only 1.2 hours by car. And never had a problem nor have we had to wait more than 2-3 at a crossing. Now we need passports just to spend the day in Canada. *They flew over my house that day and I was listening to radio chatter.
great! what about US/MEX border crossing?
I was having a mtn bike ride a few months back at about 10pm Nogales and all of the sudden a piston twin comes climbing out of the city airport.. NO lights! Nothing just darkness😂 is that normal for border town operations?
I have travel all over the world as a passenger and the usa customs is always mean. they are never this nice never.
I agree I'm a American and even most of the cops here are power and controll hungry. I think many of the cops here must have been picked on alot in school or something but I come from a city where they just make up reasons to arrest ppl and harass people.
once i visited your country US, to me remind me a second USSR boarders guards , where is you liberties .
this is true about half the time only, in my experience. half nice, half sour..
What about mexico?
At least 20 Swat people at your plane
Hii
Wish this was on netflix :/
Not the experience I have had on several crossings back and forth from Canada. Going into Canada has been mostly great. Only one time were the agents less than professional. And even that was not too bad. Coming back ia a totally different story. Out of all the crossings coming back into the states I have only had one who was what I would consider professional. During Osh Kosh week, at a time when you would think most agents would be a little frazzeled (sp), I had one, (sorry I can't remember his name because he deserves a shout out) who went over and above to make sure everyone was treated with respect and he hustled so no one was significantly delayed. On the other hand, at almost every other crossing, I encounter bad attitudes, long delays from laziness or unnecessary checks, and just plain unprofessionalism. I was a police officer for many years and if I would have treated people the way I have been treated I would have been disciplined or fired. It is atrocious. Our taxpayers money at work.
Is this true for paramotor also?
What happens if a crew member doesn't have there passport and plane is not scheduled to go back to us for 24 hours
Many pilots flying around the world on their single engine aircraft , but never heard they have trouble with borders if they follow the rules and regulation .
Not many, I'm sure.
would customs come after you even if you don't land at an airport? if you know someone or you own property and land there would you be arrested?
If you were to do this VFR, are you required to file a flight plan? If so, do you file with CAN or USA? Thanks!
Of I remember my ground school correctly. Yes you do Andrew you for it with you originating country and they take care of the rest
VFR or IFR, it doesn't matter. You're still required to file an eAPIS manifest whenever leaving or entering the US.
what plane is that??
Taffy I think it’s a Cessna P210N
radiation scan? wtf?
can a ppl pilot fly abroad ?
MrMulteh ofcourse
If you really wanna snuggle something into the country put it in a duffle bag with a gps tracker, dump the bag out of the window somewhere rural, clear customs and then go retrieve your product.
Whatever happened to this show?
Supereportagehenri
Are there any fee's?
After 3 years with no reply its not really a good sign
The customs and border guy says he is "looking for that 1% that has harmful intent". What? One percent of general aviation pilots have "harmful intent"?
If reality could be heeded just for a minute, how many times is there any record or news of a GA aircraft being discovered as having had "hurmful intent" at a border crossing.
EAPIS and the additional formalities discourage a lot of travel, on account of an imaginary threat.
Sounds like a big headache regardless
Hahaaha The US and easy cant go in one sentance
Ha. Let's elaborate, shall we?
ohh i was also wondering what i was saying. Okay easy there is nothing easy in the US. Lets face it that country is going to shit. Easy only exisits in europe.
@@kevindt100 Ok. Try a GA flight from a north African country into the EU and see if it's "easy" compared to the same flight from Canada or Mexico into the US.
so, 1 percent of people have bad intentions. i think not..so he must have only checked in 100 people in his career. acording to him, only 1 time he only had a problem.
It's a figure of speech. It's obviously not precisely 1% of people or pilots crossing the border. It's less, but who knows the exact percentage? And he said only 1 time he seized an aircraft. He did not say only 1 time there was a problem.
Lesson learned when smuggling have your packages strapped to a man with a parachute. Then have the packaged dropped prior to landing with a pick for your package in a remote location. 😁
Statues and codes are made for slaves
Pro tip!
1% horror stories lol.
TNGN! MAGA!
