Canadian VFR

As an Aviation enthusiast and pilot (I had to say it) flying in Canada, I often need to analize the Canadian VFR (Visual Flight Rules) map.

There is few ways to do that online:

• Using Foreflight map (needs a paid subscription)
• Using Skyvector, but it only shows the US map, not the Canadian VFR
• Using Fltplan (now Garmin) map viewer https://mapviewer.fltplan.com

Digging a bit in the Flyplan map viewer, I discovered that it uses an ArcGIS server. I'm also an OpenStreetMap enthusiast, and remebered that there is a way to display ArcGIS maps online.

So here is the trick:

• Open the ArcGIS Server Proxy on the browser
• Fill the Ftlplan ArcGIS URL https://arcgis2.fltplan.com/arcgis/rest/services/fltplan/canadian_vnc/MapServer

and voila !
