Overview --> Libya Aeroplane and Helicopter Special Edition Libya Flying Safari "The Bush Pilots": 20 - 29th March 2009 Aeroplane Special
Edition Overview: We have been asked by a Belgian flight school to support a desert flying course. The Safari starts and finishes at Pisa airport, where we extract as necessary.
Early starts will be the order of the day (0700 breakfast), to have completed the average 3 hours of flying comfortably before 1200. This leaves each afternoon for studying/relaxing/visiting. Accommodation will be the best available locally (so from local level 5* to desert camps). With one exception, we will be landing at main airports, so both JET A1 and AVGAS/100LL will be available. Equipment: Each aircraft MUST HAVE: - Zero wind range of 300NM, with additional 30 minute reserve Additional for the crossing of the Mediterranean (can be left in Tripoli): - Immersion suits (personal choice, can be rented)
We will travel as aircraft buddy pairs, in visual and radio contact at all times. The buddy will be first call responsible for problem noting and solving. In the case of a forced landing, they will note location and remain above as long as fuel permits - also passing all information to local SAR by airborne means. Assuming a successful landing, communications can be established by satphone, aircraft comms systems or handheld VHF. Aircraft repairs and maintenance can be carried out at the overnight fields, but it is preferable to have the aircraft checked completely before the trip, and any causes for concern attended to before departure.
It is a flying course, and there will be long periods in/around the aircraft.
