Our routing will be.

North Weald England to Prestwick Scotland 2.5 hours.

Prestwick - Keflavik Iceland 6.5 hours.

Keflavik - Narsarsuaq Greenland 6.5 hours

Narsarsuaq - Goose Bay NFLD. 6.0 hours

Goose Bay - Virginia Beach 11.0 hours

We do a lot of this type of flying and even though the Cat will fly 20 hours non stop, for single engine safety reasons we try to keep our legs within a reasonable take off all up weight.

The South Atlantic route was a case where we departed Dakar 5,000 pounds over gross alowable with a ferry permit. The first six to eight hours we are flying two single engine airplanes in one , if we lose an engine we will end up landing on the ocean, not a pleasant thought.

Take a look at our web site and some pictures of some of the places we fly.
