Contact Transport Canada in Moncton, New Brunswick. They will give you all the info you want and some that you don't want. Like, I don't think a Robbie will be able to lift the required survival gear.

This might be worth a look:
North Atlantic International General Aviation Operations Manual
http://www.faa.gov/ats/aat/IFIM/natsmanual.pdf

"This manual was initially developed by the North Atlantic Systems Planning Group (NAT-SPG) to assist international general aviation (IGA) pilots with flight planning and operations across the North Atlantic."

R44 across the pond

Q Smith and Jennifer Murray have done it with 3 R44s in total.
U will need long range tanks and the transport Canada paperwork as well as fuel stops in Iceland and Greenland.

Good luck,
