Remarks: | Most of the dificulties were administrative (Special insurances details and liability, discharges, etc...). The only challenge was to fly between Japan and Anchorage (First custom port available), avoiding the closed Russian airspace. We had to get a permit from US custom to refuel at Adak island, get clearance from Japan to leave from the most east airport, and get sufficiant downwinds to land at PADK (1760 Nm) with fuel reserve for alternate (PASN 350 Nm). We did that at economical cruise and 8o Kn downwind. Thank’s Pilatus!
We had also some worries about the fligh near Ukraine over the black sea and over Afganistan, but we had no problems.
