Flying the North Atlantic with Ed Carlson

 

Transatlantic Flight Planning for General Aviation

FLIGHT PLANNING COURSE

You will learn when to fly and when NOT to fly!
More than 1600 pilots attended this course and have a 100% NO ACCIDENT rate.

You will learn how to obtain and evaluate current and 51/2 day forecast North Atlantic weather reports to ensure a safe VFR flight, pilot and aircraft requirements, route planning, communication, navigation, programming your GPS, plan B & C,  position reporting, instrument departure, enroute and approach procedures, a review of fuel requirements, and required emergency survival equipment.

How to complete a safe and uneventful flight and where to stay in enthralling Goose Bay & Frobisher/Iqaluit, Canada; Kangerlussuaq/Sonderstrom & Narsarsuaq, Greenland; Keflavik & Reykjavik, Iceland, Vagar in the Faroe Islands; Stornoway, Scotland. Eastbound? Just the opposite.

What is the major cause of North Atlantic aircraft accidents? Why did an airline pilot fly a Bonanza up the wrong fjord in Narsarsuaq? Why did another "pro" pilot fly his Brazilia into the glacier 20 miles short of Sonderstrom? Why did a Falcon 10 run out of fuel short of Keflavik? Learn the answers in Ed's informative class.

Ed's North Atlantic flight planning workbook is available for $45.00. Call 508 883-3335 to order.
