Hello everyone
Newbie here!
I was directed to you by a forum friend from Diamond Aviators Net.
I am planning a trip from LSGL (Lausanne Switzerland) to OLBA (Beirut Lebanon) and back in a Diamond DA40-180 (that's the AVGAS version).
Need advice about where to land, what to watch, fuel costs and landing fees, visas, flak, girls, etc..
My trip parameters are as follows:
Maximum leg: 550 NM
Cruise airspeed 130 KTAS
Fuel burn: 8 GPH
Fuel on board: 50 USG
Altitude preference: FL 070 to 120
Flight rules: IFR
Plane is not de-iced
O2 on board
I am flying with a non pilot friend, and we'd like to do the trip in 2 days (each direction). We need to find a nice place to spend the night on each way.
Many thanks and blue skies to all
Antoine
