Manual Reference:  no ref

My route for this first Round the World flight keeps changing as the world situation does. I’m also getting great information from ferry pilots and internet searches on fuel availability, airport charges and places with ‘customs’ or ‘ports of entry’ for international flights.

Here’s a flat earth overview. Each ‘stop’ is a single flight.

If the earth is round after all, the lines don’t look too straight.Β  This view shows the ICAO airport names that I’m currently planning on.

That does look all over the place!Β  Here are some rough numbers based on a very conservative 170kts and 35lts per hour and nominal winds which will change, I do hope to get much better numbers.
