Ferrying from China - Language barriers?
Hi.
A friend of mine has apparently (nearly) bought a turbine chopper in China. He's got a PPL-H and I've got a PPL-A.
We are wondering if it would be possible to fly it back to Scandinavia ourselves through China, Mongolia and Russia. My role in all of this would be handling ATC and fuel stop logistics. We're looking at a roughly 40-50 hrs flight time, 12 stop trip.
My primary concern is prob ATC. Is there anyone here who has some experience with rural areas in Northern China, Mongolia and Russia? What's the English level like? My Mandarin is terrible, so just wondering. Looking for an adventure, but not to get shot down. Think spring next year is first realistic ferry possibility, pending Corona situation.
Thanks guys.
