Blue Spruce Route
 

I'm going to ferry an a/c across the Atlantic on the Blue Spruce Route, its been a while (13 years) since I've last flown it. I could use some tips.

a liferaft!

:rolleyes:

Fly high. Make sure your VHF works well!

hello sorry for hijacking the thread but what is the Blue Spruce Route?

Blue Spruce
 

Its a very North Atlantic VHF/VOR/NDB only route. The longest leg over water is about 300 mn. In WWII it was a very popular shuttle route for military a/c to travel to Europe. The only hazards were severe cold, crappy WX, poor NAVIDs and lousy comm. Asside from that, it was the safest way to get there.....Regards...Paul

Hi in the sky
 

I´ve used two years ago, but at 37000'. Everything worked just fine take care with the weather and vhf is available with most alternates.
The landscape is beautiful so the best advice is take a good camera.

What a/c type do you intend to ferry? (MNPS cert?, RVSM approved? H/F equipped?). Also, where from/to?

Should the people who own the aircraft not have this planned for you?

Avoid Greenland on a Sunday. The airports all charge a premium to allow you to land then! The general rules can be found here http://www.nat-pco.org/nat/NAT%20IGA%203-V2.pdf#search='vhf%20route%20across%20atlantic'
