I'm wanting to do open heart surgery in a fortnight, and as I've never done it before, any pointers appreciated...
My best sincere advice is to hire up a contract PIC who makes international trips monthly. If you don't you are making a big big big mistake.
Not trying to be disrespectful, but everything is in Europe is different, with a thousand "gotchas". SAFA, Slots, controller Syntax, Sertification of aircraft are but a few.
Are you sure your aircraft is legal? Do you have authorization to fly in NMPS airspace?... Believe me, the list is long and getting longer by the day!
Europeans are humorless when it comes to your lack of anything.
Please don't start listening to any of the comments above, you might think you can go it alone.
