Anyone done this leg? Planning to make the trip from BN to Alice probably in July and wondering what to plan for..
Birdsville TREBL Alice looks good on the PCA, only a couple of very small gaps in the VHF coverage at 10,000 feet, but the direct route Birdsville Alice probably wouldn't be advisable, especially on an IFR plan.
Alternatively, I could take some oxygen and go up higher (wouldn't mind testing the actual service ceiling of the Archer, apparently my model can go up to 15,000..), anyone know the cost of a simple (pilot only) system and what coverage is like at 12,000 or 14,000? And yes I realise I might be stuck lower if the QNH is really low..
Cheers
