Route from Alaska to Japan
Hi guys,
I'm toying with an around the world trip with a friend. We've spent some time weighing up the risks and seeking to minimise those (in so far as possible). According to earthrounders.com, most westbound trips seem to take the San Diego to Hawaii route. The overwater portion is circa 2,200nm. We're considering a potentially safer(?) alternative route, which is via Nome (Alaska) to Madagan (RUS) and then south towards Japan. Has anyone experience flying in this part of the world?
The proposed AC type is DA40 (JetA), IFR ok.
Cheers
