Cirrus SR22 UK to Istanbul - Advice Please
Advise sought on a possible scenario.
I am a recent new owner of an SR22 and only have about 15 hours to date on type, total fixed wing time 250 hours PPL with no IMC or IFR, some european flying experience, mainly France & Holland.
Anyway the situation is friends in Istanbul have decided they want an SR22 and will learn to fly in Turkey, They / We have found a very low hours late model which fits perfectly for what they want but no deal finalised yet.
Now the problem is, they have asked if i would fly it to Turkey which with my present experience would be reluctant to do so advice needed is...
A) Which would be safest & easiest route? (I am prepared to fly reasonable water crossings)
B) How difficult might it be in terms of actually getting any permission in any en route countries and entering Turkey.
C) What problems might there be with communicating with ATC
D) Are there any legal implications.
This is totally non commercial, they would pay for fuel & landing fees only.
I have allready said to them the second option is I would find a suitably qualified safety pilot or Ferry pilot but feel that it would be a good challenge to plan & accomplish it myself.
Any thoughts ?
