Do VFR flights require permission to enter Class E airspace?

Yes, always

No, they do not

VFR (Visual Flight Rules) flights do not require permission to enter Class E airspace in Canada. Class E airspace is typically designated for controlled airspace that does not require air traffic control (ATC) clearance for VFR operations. Pilots flying under VFR can enter Class E airspace without needing to communicate with ATC, although they must remain vigilant and follow applicable rules regarding visibility and cloud clearance requirements.

While there are some specific conditions where ATC clearance might be necessary, such as operating in controlled airspace near busy airports, the general principle is that Class E airspace provides a level of latitude for VFR pilots. This allows for more flexibility when planning flights as pilots can enter this airspace as long as they comply with the established VFR regulations.
