August 9, 20205 yr Cubcrafter Cub! It cruses almost like 172. It can fly 600+ miles. And finally it can land anywhere! Life time flight sim enthusiast, current airplane owner 172P (past C182F).

If you're trying to cross over the Greenland-Iceland-UK-gap, however, make sure to check the weather. Greenland has very high elevations, and the weather could be a problem because you probably will have to stay below the clouds when you cross the ice shield. Remember, the C172 doesn't have any deicing equipment, I learned that the hard way on a recent crossing of the Alps. Thank you for the tips, Zeit 🙂 I'm thinking that the Caravan is probably a good alternative when I need longer range, higher cruising altitude and de-icing boots.

I still remember that trip when I made it in the RealAir Lancair Legacy in P3D. Cruising above the clouds wasn't a problem, but the oxygen (which was simulated in this plane, including hypoxia at high altitudes) only lasted for about half of the leg from Reykjavik to Nuuk. So I had to dive down below the clouds to be able to breathe again and basically skimmed across the ice shield at a few hundred feet with very little visibility. 😬

August 9, 20205 yr Milviz is working on their twin Cessna 310, and B-55 Baron, as well as well as the DHC2 taildragger. They seem to be nice for these missions.

They seem to be nice for these missions I love the DHC2, but it's a slooow aircraft. A classic bush plane, but not ideal for cross-country unless you're very patient or massively time-compressing.

August 9, 20205 yr I'm stuck between the Caravan and the TBM... I suppose whichever one immerses more! But then there are so many other interesting GA types to choose from this time around that I really can't be sure until I try them all first 😁 Edited August 9, 20205 yr by hangar Dave Kalin Excel Classes Computer Lessons
