Certainly Do-able
Hi BNI,
Welcome to the Forum.
Flying to Sweden in a single engined aircraft armed only with a PPL is certainly quite do-able. It might also provide useful motivation for some of the more turgid parts of the PPL syllabus, otherwise known as Air Law.
Planning your route would also provide an interesting introduction in to Navigation and Aircraft Performance and Limitations.
A lot of the answers to your questions are ‘how long is the proverbial piece of string’. To get you started, a trip from Stauning in Denmark to East Sussex in the UK was completed in one day (9 flying hours with stops at Tondor (DK), Hoogveen (NL), Midden Zeeland (NL)). This in a Rans S6, cruise speed around 80mph, fuel burn around 12 Lt./Hr.
Flying a C of A aircraft, rather than a ‘Permit’ one like the Rans, will simplify some of the international travel considerations.
If you have the inclination to look at some of the flight planning software like Skydemon (other flavours like PocketFMS are also available) you can get a feel for the task in hand. Please don’t let the rather easy way this solves the problems get in the way of learning the basics. You will still need to know how to sort it all out if your Tablet or what ever electronic device you are using in the aircraft suddenly refuses to display anything except the Blue Screen of Death….
Good luck with your PPL, keep asking the questions and let us know how you get on.
