General remarks about your flight:
The flight is one of extremes, very simple in places and hugely demanding in others. The ease of which one can fly through Europe, USA & Australasia is the absolute opposite in the likes of India, Pakistan and a few others in Asia. It has been by far the most satisfying experience of my flying life.
Advice to other pilots:
I could probably take up a few pages here but i`ll start with fuel-avgas-its becoming ever more difficult & expensive to obtain, the pacific and Asian subcontinent, Greenland & Iceland, you will need to ensure that supplies will be available well in advance. Take US dollars & visa-fuel cards help in some of these far flung places but dollars are your back-up. Ipads or similar device are essential, there are some superb services-local Met and planning around the world and I would advise you avail yourself of them-whilst still having your own backup online. Had great clearance support from White rose aviation. It can get very expensive at some of the major airports, always look outside the box at the near alternatives you’d be surprised how much cheaper they are. Never be astounded at just how the red tape in India & Pakistan, it will demoralize you, it is on a monumental level compared to the rest of the world, but you`ll get through it!!
