Hello community,
We’re trying a rather long city-pair stretch from Bangkok to San Diego in our G650ER this month. According to planning, the flight is entirely possible, however, I’m hoping to get some feedback regarding having a contingency plan in the event that fuel reserves become unacceptable for unforeseen reasons while enroute.
I’d imagine even in a worst case scenario our route would keep us along the California coast and that some of the northern airports there could be used for diversion if necessary.
Looking ahead, what might be some of the “gotchas” that I’d need to be especially concerned with attempting to have all my ducks in a row as best as possible?
For instance, should we phone ahead to KOAK or Sacramento to let them know it’s a possibility we might need to make an unplanned stop to clear customs?
Thanks very much.
