Flying to Indonesia and Malaysia
Hi
I am planning to fly my Cessna 172 next year from Darwin through Indonesia to Penang and return. I would be grateful any comments/advice. It's an 1974 M model with a mogas cert. I am a private pilot with around 1,000 hrs (mainly in 172s and 150s). Planned route is (roughly) Darwin, Kupang, Denpasar, Yogya, Bandung, Jakarta, Palembang, Padang, Medan, Penang. Then return via Singapore, Pontianak, Balikpapan, Samarinda, Manado, Sorong, Timika, Merauke, Darwin. Any obvious problems with this?
What do you think? Possible? Am I allowed to do it as a private pilot? Wonder if Indonesian Mogas would be OK (my Lyc.E2D engine is supposed to take 80-87 octane)
Grateful any comments or advice
Cheers
Ross
