Bureau Of Customs Proposes Burdensome Requirement
In the spirit of homeland security the Bureau of Customs and Border Patrol has proposed placing a burdensome requirement on private aircraft arriving and departing the United States. Presently, when a general aviation pilot is preparing to enter U.S. airspace, a passenger list with 60 minutes notice to Customs is required by phone or flight plan with updates to the air traffic control system. Customs is provided a manifest and identification upon arrival. General aviation departures do not require a manifest under the current rules.
The proposed change would require an electronic filing at least 60 minutes before arrivals and departures for the Department of Homeland Security to compare a private aircraft manifest to a terrorist watch list. If enacted, this change would affect about 280,000 flights annually at an estimated cost of $8.8 million.
