As the title says, I am in the US but about 4 miles away from a Canadian airport that has a 5 mile no-fly radius. If I want to get permission to fly, how would I do that? Can a Canadian air tower give a US citizen in the US permission to fly? Can a Canadian airport even impose the no-fly zone onto American soil?

Wondering if anyone has any information on this situation.

I can't answer all your questions but I can tell you this:

That Canadian air tower engages US licensed pilots all day long. Call 'em up. Ask them.

I worked wildland fire many years ago. The U.S. had a treaty with Canada. They could initial attack a fire ten miles into Alaska and we could take one ten miles into the Yukon. I think we had twenty-four hours or some such rule to let 'em know what we were up to. Two-bits says we've got a treaty with both Canada and Mexico concerning air traffic control.

You should contact the Canadian tower for sure. I would be very surprised if they have any control over US airspace, but there may be some agreement or treaty governing that. Which Canadian airport is it?
