Except for transborder flights, a single VFR flight plan or flight itinerary including
one or more intermediate stops en route may be filed provided:
a) for VFR flight plans, the stop will be of short duration (for purposes
such as boarding passenger, and refueling);
b) each intermediate stop is indicated by repeating the name of the
stopping pint and its duration in the route section of the flight plan/itinerary.
Record the duration of the stopover in hours and minutes with four consecutive
digits. Example: CYXU 0045 CYXU. You may include a phone number for the
stopover in the "Remark" section of the flight plan or flight itinerary, if
available, as this may be useful in case of search and rescue.
When intermediate stops are planned, the "Estimated /Elapsed Time" must be
calculated as the total time to the final destination, including the duration of the
intermediate stop(s). It should be noted that Search and Rescue (SAR) action would
only be initiated at the specified SAR time or, in the event that a SAR time is not
indicated, 60 minutes for the flight plan and 24 hours for a flight itinerary after the
ETA at the final destination. Pilots wishing SAR action based on every leg of a
flight should file one flight plan or flight itinerary for each stop.
