https://youtu.be/Ll-QbSILZK8?si=n0GQJ1T9QYwgQDz5Looks exiting! From experience, I would avoid VAAH (Ahmedabad) and go instead to VANP (Nagpur). Ideally only one stop in India. If range is a factor, there are other possible airports. YRBM (Broome) is cool, great hotels and beaches. Have a great flight!

…but they wouldn’t need a parachute if the plane had a 2nd engine. Username Protected wrote: Looks exiting! That is what the parachute is for, to exit. Mike C.

You’ll notice a descent out of 310 over Bridgeport. Autopilot failed. Diverted to KBTY as there is a Cirrus Service center there. Estimate is back in the air Monday..stay tuned…

Interesting choice. Indonesia was brutally expensive in my C182. I imagine an SF50 can only be worse. I'd be flying long legs and stopping as few times there as possible! Maybe there wasn't any way to make fewer Indo stops with the range they have.

Was once asked to ferry a Citation 500 to Australia
They tried twice before and couldn't get the extra tanks to feed
I turned the "offer" down (as I suspect the original crew did also after 2 tries)
