Hi,
This is not a trip report, is more to give you an idea of cost and some tips for your potential European trip - do it, it's fun!
Was a great trip, first time for me in a Phenom (last time in a Cheyenne), would do again! Amazing trip.Covid complicated the trip a bit, but not too bad.
To make the Phenom Europe ready (no HF):
- Garmin Nav and chart kit for Europe
- 2 suits, 1 raft
- (1 Iridium phone)
- 2 personal beacon's
- Iridium Go (buy in US, flat rate subscription) and Golze App/subscription (https://www.ing-golze.de/iridiumgo.jsp) ) This gives you Weather in Foreflight (similar to ADS-B globally), Satellite phone calls, text, position tracking, email. I highly recommend this setup, even for flying in US!
Other Prep:
Short checklist flight to Europe:
- Garmin Tripkit
- Decal from this year?
- Hotel bookings
- Suits
- Raft
- Personal Emergeny Beacon in date?
Day’s before flights:
- Update Garmin
- eApi
- UK GAR
- CAA/Worldfuel
- Email FBO’s on trip
Day before flight’s:
- Covid
o Rapid PCR test
o ArriveCan
o Greenland form (from Airport)
- Print all non Foreflight airport charts
- Call Canada (Username Protected)er protection

Do you have a recommendation for whom to purchase the connectivity through in the US? They seem to talk a lot about marine and don't know if the end purpose is different? -
