Totally right, Chris, but SBFN is not an international port. I used it though as alternate on my FPL, and would not have hesitated to land if I had doubts about my range, or any other issue. But since all went smooth, I had to fly over that island, and head all the way to Natal.

Don’t stop in Noronha. There’s no fuel. Airlines have to tanker fuel to go there.
