Across
the North Atlantic - A Pilot's Ultimate Adventure
|
|
Questions on your first flight across the North Atlantic via BGBW, BGKK or BGSF?
Need ONC's/Jepps? Critical Wx info? Required Survival gear? Groundschool? Insurance? An experienced co-pilot? Aircraft ferrying/delivery?
Preparation for the Icelandic inspection?
The flight over the North Atlantic is indeed exhilerating and challenging.
Flying your airplane is easy. The notorious North Atlantic weather is the most important factor. This flight is
only for those who are skilled, educated, and well prepared! Pilots who wish to "fly the pond" must hold at least
a private pilot certificate with an instrument rating.
You will not be flying in a radar environment with flight
following, frequent fuel stops, or multiple airport options. You will be flying over some of the most desolate, rugged and
beautiful terrain on the planet. Your primary means of navigation will be via GPS, so you'd better have two (just in case).
