Transatlantic trip to Europe

Post by UncleSpud »

I’m contemplating flying my DA42 to Europe for a delivery. Does anyone have any experience with that flight they would like to share?

While completed years ago, here's a detailed trans-Atlantic trip report of ferrying my then-new DA42-VI the opposite direction via Scotland, Iceland, Greenland, and Canada:

In the „Crossing the pond“ video from Diamond they filmed the briefing and show the equipment packing list at 6:40 for their flight. Might be interesting to cross check:
