What would be of bigger concerns is overflight permits.
The countries you mention are not particularly known to be a hotbed of Private GA.
You’re not working for a Commercial operator so I would expect quite some red tape and raised eyebrows.
Thanks for the feedback guys.
​​​​​​​Turns out it was a pipe dream. Passing through Russia isn't the bottleneck as I first suspected, but realized that China isn't that GA friendly (yet) even though they are working on it from what I can tell. The trip would involve four long VFR stretches by PPL pilots across China before reaching Mongolia and from what I can tell that would be nearly impossible to get acceptance for. Would be great to be proven wrong though, then this epic trip planning would be back on track😀👍 For me at least, it would be a once in a lifetime experience.
