Suggestions en route from Iqualuit - NY - Oshkosh

Post by Wilfried »

Good morning!
After two days of intense and enjoyable flying we have reached Iqualuit starting from „Bavaria“. Over dinner yesterday, we thought on how to continue from here and decided to circle the statue of freedom and then to continue to Oshkosh.
Is there anybody here that is familiar with the airports all the way down to NY and could make some suggestions? Otherwise we are landing at the major airports and missing the nicer smaller ones. We are flying legs of around 600NM.

Wow! Sounds like a great trip! However, the correct name would be "The Statue of Liberty". If you fly down the Hudson River, you need to stay low in the VFR corridor and keep your eyes outside the cockpit, as there is a lot of low level traffic, and there have been midairs down there. Also, avoid any temptation to go up the East River, as it's narrow, and U-turns can be a problem.

See you in Oshkosh!

Hi Wilfried!

Glad to hear about your progress.

From CYFB we went to CYVP (Kuujjuaq) and then to CYRQ (Trois-Rivieres), KALB (Albany) and KCDW (Caldwell).

From Caldwell we did the Hudson exclusion Southbound and back Northbound including the circling of the statue of Liberty. Check https://www.faasafety.gov/files/gslac/c ... eboard.pdf

All the best!

Thank you!
We have made it to PWM, circling the Liberty today, stay in Long Island for the night and then heading to Oshkos. We are enjoying every minute of this trip!
