FL,

Can one get enough fuel endurance to make it across the wet bits? With the right weather and winds....no reason a 44 should not make it across mechanically. The drawback is the North Atlantic can be a very cold, lonely place should you give up flying across and have to do it by rubber boat.

What is the longest leg....bit over 600nm is it?
