Keep in mind that certain items are considered dangerous goods that we can not fly in the plane.  For example can’t fly bear bangers, mace, flares, batane, strike anywhere match.  Bring safety matches.  Gas, propane and naphtha must be transported according to specific instructions.  Only certain type of battery can be flown and according to specific instruction; call and we can discuss this further first hand. We require to know prior to any flight date if any approved dangerous good items.

Please remember that you are responsible to tidy and clean the cabin before the plane arrives for your return flight to the base.  Please make sure the dishes are washed and put away and the fridge has been cleaned out.  Please do not leave any food in the cabin when you leave.  Please check BBQ is clean.  There is a broom, dust pan, mop at the cabin for your use - please sweep the floor and give it a mop.  All pitch in for a comfortable, clean and safe environment.

Please pack sufficient number of sturdy garbage bags because garbage must come out with you.   Please do not leave any food and do not leave any garbage in the cabin when you leave - all garbage comes out with your flight - use heavy duty garbage bags and double bag the garbage - garbage must then be put in your empty plastic rubber maid container (keep in mind rubber maid container you brought in packed with groceries used now for containing garbage bags coming out) as this procedure is required for our air transportation of garbage.   Thank you - it is very much appreciated.

Please pass this information to each person in your group so they can also prepare, Thank you.

Review example of what to remember to pack and what for example is at the cabin.  Please call 705-849-2389 to discuss first hand well in-advance and prior to your arriving to Fly-in.

Keep in mind if you’d like to rent a 2-way radio for the cabin, please make arrangements with us well in advance and prior to your arrival.  Keep in mind that 2-way cabin radio does not guarantee a communication with our office,as sometimes atmospheric conditions hamper cabin radio signals. Please keep in mind that our aircraft fly daylight, weather permitting and bad weather will delay flights.  When making your travel plans please remember to include delayed weather plan scenario.
