Be aware that Transport Canada is currently insisting (as per regs) on carriage of HF radio through Gander airspace unless you :

1) fly at FL250 or above;

2) avoid Gander airspace by routeing Sondrestrom-Iqaluit, for example;

3) fly VFR while oceanic below FL050, which, though legal, is not recommended.

VHF/Satfone is not enough.

Third-party insurance for a transatlantic trip is also mandatory.
