Hi Guys n Gals,
As is the common format I wonder if you guys could help clear up a conversation started in the pub between myself and a non aviator.
His bet was that there isn't a way to get a GA Aircraft over to the US from the UK, now I know that its possible as ferry pilots do it all the time but he, being the stubborn type, wants proof - so I'm going to march down with a map and a general flightplan next time I go see him and I need your help!
Lets say you got offered a job in America for two years fixed contract and you want to take your plane, you are a UK Based pilot with your own Single, for sake of argument we will say a Cirrus SR22, IMC ratings etc all current blah blah blah.
How would you get your trusty steed over there? what route would you take? I had a talk about 5 years ago with a Cessna delivery pilot who regularly flew the trip from USA to UK but what about the other way around? Please don't say just do it in reverse! lets see if some of you still have a sense of adventure
I assume it would be something like "Base">Faroe>Iceland>Greenland>Canada>USA - How many stops and how long do you think It would take?
Purely in the name of fun!
All the best,
EzY
P.S The bet was for a quid so I'll split my winnings between all those that help out
