tips for norway flying
Flying to norway very very often. Several tips:
A) allways fill the FPL and alway be on radio with ATC even during VFR. If you get to IMC controllers do their best and you get IFR clearence in no time.
B) never ever, never ever, never ever fly inside valley or fjord. There is so many powerlines. Some are not mapped. They are able to put powerlines on very big distances.
C) always call to the AFiS of airport where you plan to fly. He will know about you and can tell you something what is not in notam or some local weather phenomena.
D) have a very good GPS with terrain warning (will save you ass one day).
