give them a call several times (sometimes they forget) if you're approaching their closing time. Oh and make sure you work out your times around when Customs is open in Puerto Rico. even then, make sure your life jackets/raft have strobes. Totally up to you as PIC, but I would try to leave as early in the morning as humanly possible (are you going IFR or VFR?) and avoid flying the leg from Provo to Puerto Rico in the evening. I'm assuming by "we'll stop" you have someone with you. Depending on the aircraft, sometimes stopped in North Eleuthra or one of the Bahama islands down south to avoid going to Provo. Make sure you get your eAPIS stuff together and correct.
It's not a difficult trip at all, just a lot of radio silence on the way. have had various emergencies en route to include losing an engine in a 172 in between Providenciales and Aguadilla. I have been looking at the performance of Mooney M20F and M20J, these aircraft seem like a great balance of perfomance and economy (great fuel consumption), i've read some articles debunking a lot of the bad rep they have with maintenance and every day they seem like a better option.Click to expand.Done that trip many times in various aircraft. I would like an airplane that i can grow into (but no too much airplane) and a solid IFR platform that i can use to fly around the Caribbean (based in Puerto Rico). but getting realistic, i would like to stay around $100k tops.
I'm thinking about getting my first airplaine in 4-5 years, and i have pretty much considered everthing from a cherokee 140 to a cessna 210.
I wanted to give a step-by-step approach to what we do in an aircraft, far from the dense of regulations. This is all the knowledge any IFR pilot needs, written for myself and my fellow pilots. I know i'm getting a little ahead of myself, but i've been thinking about this for a long time, i guess i just want to do it right the first time. How to Fly IFR is the book I wish I had when I started with IFR.
