Basically - do your homework. Is their flight planning realistic? As them what is their logistics network like - where are fuel stops located? If you have to make an unscheduled stop, what is their Plan B?
Ask to see the certification paperwork for the aircraft and engine. What limitations apply to ethanol operations?
It could be reasonably safe (nothing is
perfectly safe!) if the planning is well done. Good luck!
