Thank you for posting this. This is the exact information I was looking for. I'm a flight simulator enthusiast and I'm attempting to participate in VATSIM's annual "Cross the Pond" event (10/28/2023) using a Beechcraft King Air 350i. This video has given me some insights and I think I'll change the route I was originally thinking of taking. Keep up the great work!
I have flown all these routes, and others. Good analysis.
Nicely presented explanation from several years ago. Got to hear your sweet voice and interesting explanations. You know I loved you two years ago as well as two seconds ago. It’s just the way it is for me my Captain sweet Captain.
Wonderfully detailed. You never fail to impress! Stay safe.
Thank you..
In a really small plane, you can also do Stornoway-Vagar-Reykjavik-Kullusuk-Nuuk-Iqualuit. But you still need to be able to get up to 12.000 feet or you'll slam into the shelf ice in Greenland, and you nave no real good alternate airport for kullussuk and vagar, so it would be a bit of a suicide mission unless you have excellent weather.
I have a old Flying Mag where a Italian man get's his PPL in the USA then buy's a new 1979 Cessna 152 with optional long range tanks. He flew the northern route to Europe - CYFB Iqaluit Canada - BGSF - Ikateq, Greenland - BIKF -(Iceland) just with tanks supplied by Cessna. He ran into IFR weather between Iceland and Scotland and had to turn back about 4 or 5 times before he finally made it through to Scotland.
Are you pilot please?
Yes, I am a private pilot
What is the best small planes turboprop you can upgrading range till 6000km ???

I'm afraid of flying
I must go to America for a visit
before the visa expires
Can you take me to New York?!
I can come to Europe to the country of your choice
I expect that small planes have less effect on fear?
What is your opinion
Shalom! Hey Boss if I cross from mid Atlantic route you mentioned and stop at those stops, do we need to go through customs each time? How about fueling is there a pay at the pump like in U.S or does someone have to fuel for you? Thanks
If I do get my private jet pilot license this information will help me alot. Staying away from severe weather if possible I'm learning is very safer way to go. I respect every pilot give information on RUclips and Internet. We need to inform each other for good advice and to stay safe. God bless everybody in aviation community.🛫✈️🧑✈️👍💯
Hi Captain Boeing thanks for video. Extremely brief, many issues not addressed but that is OK.
Couple questions if you have time:
1 I think max time a single pilot can fly continuously is 8 hours. I estimate elapsed time for large single piston aircraft or light piston twin St John's to Santa Maria around 13 hours. Does pilot need to get a special permit/permission in order to extend legal flying time for such a flight?
2 In order to extend flying distance, some aircraft owner/pilots add extra fuel tank(s) which can cause aircraft to be overgross (weight). Again, does pilot need a special permit for this ?
Thanks.
Hi, on a private flight far 91, there are no flight time limitations.. only commercial . And you do not take off with more than MTOW allowed
@@CaptainBoeing thank you.
Does anyone can recommend a book or manual with a lot details on north atlantic crossing. Per example what are all the avionic capabilities and emergency/stuff that you need to carry with you. How is fuel and night stay on this airports cited ? Thanks, all.
the Daimaond DA42 did a direct flight from newfoundland to Portugal. and the Risen went from the canaries to brazil.
da42 only does it Atlantic to EU due to headwind, not possible other way without turtle pack.
What about Natal Brazil to Dakar Senegal, or Cape Verde?
Hi captain, I have a question, I crossed the Atlantic some 2 years ago in a challenger 601,from santa maria to gander then to West palm beach. Now there's a new requirement I think to enter U.S airspace which is one has to be ADS-B compliant, which we are not & we are planning to fly this same route this month. So what is the solution please? Thank you
Also, there is to be a new airport with more facilities and a longer runway sometime in 2024.
What about crossing north atlantic from st john to Shannon, ireland, in a cessna 172SP, in one
leg, 1700 nm, in 12:30 hours, as I did in 2006, with 100 USG ferry tank and tailwinds up to 75 kts sometimes ??
Well that seems dangerous, especially with a single engine airplane
@@Emerson24250 It's been done many times, not just by Amelia E. You don't fly across oceans in small aircraft if you are risk averse. Safer to buy a ticket, less expensive too.
@@dwaynemcallister7231 so it's more like a challenge?
I just wouldn't put my life in danger just to say I crossed the atlantic in a single engine plane. I would fly a twin instead. This way I get the full experience of crossing the ocean myself, _and_ get to live!
@@Emerson24250 Well it may be safer in a twin but maybe not, the debate on this is many decades old. There have been Twin engine aircraft that had a engine failure and settled into the ocean because with the heavy fuel load they can't maintain altitude on one engine. Not so long ago saw a RUclips video of a Cessna 414 twin ditching in the ocean after a engine failure near Hawaii. A twin gives you twice the chance of trouble and you still may go down depending on weight.
@@dwaynemcallister7231 I see. Well I guess we can rely on safety rafts and emergency radio transmitters
I have plane goals. I hope I'm smart enough and lucky enough to own my own private plane. Lucky enough to travel the world in a sweet 4-8 seater. Greece, Argentina, Switzerland, Italy.
At least on the map, there is another route across Atlantic that's shorter; Freetown in Sierra Leone to Fernando de Noronha in Brazil is slightly less than 1,600 miles. The latter is an outlying Island of Brazil in Atlantic. It's not on the mainland South America. I presume no one has done a solo on this alignment.
Natal Brazil to Cape Verde or Dakar Senegal is better. Sierra Leone you may not be able to get fuel….
With the tradewinds I guess this route is best east to west
Bermuda to Azores is also a possibility
Is that an app you are using, if so, what is it.

Now which aircraft that are single and multi engine that allow you to fly across the atlantic ocean.
There is no single engine aircraft that will get you safely across the Atlantic non-stop, that is why this video has been created. The shortest crossing with good facilities at either end is Shannon [EINN] - St Johns [CYYT], which is just under 2,000 miles; for such a trip, you would struggle to manage it in an aircraft smaller than a PC-24, which has a standard range with 4 pax of around 2,300 miles.
Only want you to be safe no matter what route you take. I need to know you are safe, I need to know you are okay, I need to know you are able to fly the route and have a safe landing.
Can you choose which route you want or you have to ask
It's all about the flight plan.. you submit the route you want to fly.
Captain Boeing thanks. Keep on
I think each air line should had each city sould and light spacial signal so no one can fool avionics
This is really interesting. I was actually planning on CYYT (St. Johns) to BGBW (Narsarsuaq) which is just over 980 miles as opposed to 775 from CYYR (Goose Bay).
By the way, what is the name of the app that you're using, please?

Are you pilot please?
I need to know something
@معاذ أبوعدس Not really. I only took 36 hours of flying training in 1998 and restarted flying lessons 2 years ago. You can ask your question but I probably won't know how to answer.
@@abdulmismail
Thank you so much
The question is that I am very afraid of flying.. but I have to go on a 12-hour flight..
From Jordan to New York.
What is the best and safest solution?
@@user-ug8sm7uh4t From time to time, the aircraft will shake but that's natural because at different altitudes, the wind can shake the aircraft a little bit; especially when you fly over mountains. This is called turbulence but they are 'pockets of air' which have a different temperature and pressure to the air around the pocket so obviously, the aircraft will react differently to that.
When you do experience turbulence, just imagine you are in a fun-fair and the ride you are on goes up and down. But, after sometime, the ride will end.
I really like biplanes. Can it be done in a biplane? lol!
And. Make. Sure. You. Don’t. Put. Too. Much. Wight. On. The. Air plane. Too
you mean range.
Don’t die
3 "route options" -- not "optional routes"
I will cross the Atlantic in my Cessna 150 fuelled on Guinness and Weetabix farts
Chuck Lindbergh did it without all this BS in n 1927😀
Dude the US is not America. America es the continent from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego as named by Martin Waldseemüller.
America can also refer to the US, as America is part of the name.
@@teepicgamer7374 same for south america...
Oh really? Dude your are the genious geographer, have you graduated from HS already ?
