I'm an N-pilot needing some help from C-pilots. How big a library must I purchase and carry to navigate around and avoid entry into the B, and C airspaces smothering these two cities? I have the Vancouver VFR navigation chart, but it's woefully inadequate because it doesn't show floor and ceiling of all the various fragments as do FAA sectionals. My 795 will delineate boundaries and altitudes of each, but no mention of contact/no contact stratifications that may exist within.
Does yet another $20 chart - the Victoria terminal - have everything I need? I've no fear of ATC, but I'd much rather not be involved, preferring sight-seeing and conversation with my pax than confinement and rapt attention to ATC.
The plan is fly to Port Hardy on the north end of Vancouver Island after clearing customs at Abbotsford (Class D, piece of cake), but it seems far simpler to cross the strait from Port Angeles and clear at Nanaimo.
