This session will equip TBMOPA members with the knowledge and tools to confidently plan and execute international flights without relying on a trip support company. Presented by CST Flight Services, it offers a practical, destination-neutral overview of the essential documents, equipment, and procedures needed for global operations—along with common mistakes to avoid. The presentation highlights both official and unofficial information sources, evaluating their reliability and pitfalls, and exposes real-world examples of regulatory inconsistencies, misleading data, and enforcement risks across different regions. Ultimately, attendees will leave with a “pilot’s toolkit” of vetted resources, awareness of high- and low-risk destinations, and a clear understanding of why thorough preparation is critical to staying compliant—and out of trouble—when flying internationally.
