16 hour ferry flight in a C172?
I have been advised of a C172 flying from St Johns to Shannon today.
The flight plan shows it to be travelling direct.
Can this be correct? It shows a flight time of just over 1000 minutes flying FL 090 at 115 kts.
Surely a stop or two in Greenland or Iceland would be required? I know that some ferry flights can be very long, but surely a C172 is limited to how many extra tanks it can be filled with.
Rather than ringing Shannon myself, I thought I'd ask here first.
