It could be done at the airport level. If your last known departure was from point A, how did you get here with an aircraft that is not suited to fly such long distance. Not only that, you shouldn't have been allowed to depart from point A to begin with.
But again, I thought that something similar already existed. Today I learned, that it doesn't.

Exactly like you could do in your car.
- unics 11y agoI thought after 911 the FAA enforced registered flight plans for all flights cross country, no? At least that's what the general news reported at the time.
- sokoloff 11y agoFor a short time (several weeks), there were restrictions like that via the TFR process (temporary flight restriction). Those were never meant to be (and did not become) permanent.
- cpncrunch 11y agoActually, there are requirements for flying in Canadian trans-oceanic airspace. You need to fly IFR, and you might need an HF radio depending on the route: https://www.copanational.org/CC-42.cfm https://www.copanational.org/CC-42.cfm You also have to follow the usual rules about having liferafts on board, etc.
