There are basically two ways to obtain clearances to each country. One method is to contact the authority of the country concerned directly. (Details are in the International Flight Manual - see later.) alternatively, a handling agent can be paid to arrange the clearances for you for between about $180 and $500 per country. Listed below are some handling agents. Some are more suited to large corporate aircraft (such as Universal and Jeppesen), while others ( such as White Rose Aviation) are also skilled at catering for the small adventure flyers.

An almost essential publication is the International Flight Manual published by the FAA in the USA.
The book can be purchased from :
Superintendent of Documents
PO BOX 371954
Pittsburg, PA
15250-7954
FAX: (202)512-2233
Foreign subscribers ask for prices at: (202) 512-1800
or write to Superintendent of Documents
US Government Printing Office
Washington, DC 20315-0020
Note : Last edition is of March 2000 and is out of print (February 2002), a new edition is expected to be ready around April 2002. (CM)
The International Flight Information manual (IFIM) should be available on line at the FAA Site:
http://www.faa.gov/ats/aat/ifim/
and gives a wealth of information with many very useful links. (CM)
However, on checking the FAA site the linked page was not found. The following website has links to the IFIM. (LW)

This gives clearance information for American citizens flying around the world, however it is very handy for flyers of all nationalities. It gives contact details and clearance requirements for each country. The trip kits published by Jeppesen also include similar information. The type of information generally required to obtain information is:
- Name, nationality and address of aircraft operator
- Aircraft type and registration
- Name and nationality of pilot in command
- Number and nationality of crew
- Number of passengers and type and amount of cargo
- Place of origin and destination
- Route of the flight
- Dates, airports and times of arrival and departure
- Type (ie private, non-scheduled commercial) and purpose of the flight
- Statement of third party insurance liability coverage
- Name, address and business of charterer (if any)
- Radio frequencies available
- Aircraft weight and tyre pressure
- Type and amount of fuel required
Note that the first 9 points shown above are required by most countries, the others are only required by a few. The International Flight Manual has details.
Note too, that some countries only require the submission of a flight plan as notification, while other countries require approval to be requested weeks before the commencement of the flight. The FAA International Flight Manual and the Jeppesen trip kits have details.
Another handy book is the International Airport/FBO Directory which can be purchased from AC-U-KWIK at http://www.ACUKWIK.com
