I know that it's not hard to fly across the border, and there are plenty of threads here and guides elsewhere about how to deal with the customs and immigration part of making a trip between the USA and Canada. But I am finding the charts (obtained through FltPlan.com as they appear to be the real deal--I don't know where Skyvector gets their very different-looking international VFR chart data) to be very different from the FAA product. Mostly because I don't have a chart legend or handy Chart User's Guide like we have for American charts, I find myself trying to guess at things like what classes of airspace I am looking at. I am no ADM wizard, but it seems like guessing is not a great overall strategy.
Does anyone know of a good, free source of information to help understand the symbols on the Canadian VNC and IFR en route charts? I could just buy paper charts but hate to spend money to prepare for a flight I am only dreaming about at this point.
