CYQG to KDET. It's about 8NM as the birds fly. We use Coleman to clear customs and pick up fuel if it's less expensive. Doing the EAPIS, booking a customs appointment and opening the flight plan takes way longer than the flight.

I flew some circuits at Abbotsford some years ago on my student pilot permit. I checked the ATIS before I departed, noted that the active was 25 and discussed the airspace implications with my instructor.prettyFLY4awhitegal wrote: ↑Sun Dec 09, 2018 8:00 pm A couple of times while doing circuits in Abbotsford I've been told to extend downwind and have almost hit Lynden. Less than 6nm
He told me that The Authorities would take exception to me filing a flight plan to Bellingham (or Victoria, via U.S. airspace), but a wide downwind at Abbotsford that happened to be a few meters in to Whatcom County wouldn't be an issue.

2.5 NM, from Port-au-Prince's old military airfield, Bowen Field, to Port-au-Prince International, twice, once in a Beech F33C, a second time in a Beech E-18S.

St Andrews to Winnipeg. 12nm.
Not the shortest flight possible, but I flew that corridor at least 315 times...

Under 5 minutes wheels off to wheels on in a 737.
Re: Whats your Shortest non stop flight?
I do this leg all the time. Takes about 3 minutes by Caravan. Every day I will do numerous flights between the islands in Belize that are less than 5 minutes long.

Re: Whats your Shortest non stop flight?
I would imagine there are many 30 second floatplane flights out there !
They are closed now but the strip still looks useable May try it some day. Paragliding is just next to the strip off the ridge line4nm from Oliver BC to Covert Farm beneath McIntrye bluff in a Taylorcraft.

Re: Whats your Shortest non stop flight?
Brings back a memory of flying off the trans Canada HWY ( had to be the longest "runway" I've used ) by Jocko Point at midnight in the winter for a first flight of a Cherokee 140 ( picked it up from the Bomark missile site north of North Bay in the SILO in a hundred pieces !) Landed at the North American NORAD site ( North Bay ) without calling in due to radio problems ( pilot finger trouble ) Highly abbreviated shorter version, of course. The taxiing along the sideroad with attendant snowbanks was more interesting than the flight! I hope Mark C is not reading this

I'm trying to figure out why "non stop" is in the thread title.

Re: Whats your Shortest non stop flight?
Hmm, I guess if you landed on a country road 30 seconds after take-off for fuel, while on your way to destination, that flight would not count....I'm trying to figure out why "non stop" is in the thread title.

I did that on the b744 25 yrs ago. Fun!Eric Janson wrote: ↑Sat Dec 08, 2018 5:13 pm 9 minutes GCRR - GCFV
9 minutes EHRD - EHAM
Both with the 737-300.
Although it was even more fun to do touch and goes with the 400 at Chateauroux....
