So presumably add a tech stop in Greenland?
Had a few trips with FIGAS when down south, nice operation.
Thats why I said as far as I could tell.
I know how notorously bad FR24 is at tracking some aircraft. But when the track re appeared from the BIRK Greenland crossing,(17th late afternoon UTC for anyone with a FR24 subscription) it was to the East of BGBW and continued past for a good distance at 95kts!
Looking at the great circle distance and time ideally it should take 9 1/2 hours so I guess a 1 1/2 hour fuel stop would also have been possible. He spent a good day or two on the ground at Goose. Taking the tanks out?
The following trips have all been about/under the 6 hour mark. I stand corrected yesterday SJO -GYE 6:41
I'm sure the pilot will have a story to tell.
