Meigs-Seville on a 182S

[Spongey87]

What do you guys think:

I am planning a flight from Meigs to Seville, Spain on a 182S.
Since the 182 is supposed to have 88 gallons usable fuel (According to the FS98 book) and uses about 9G/h flying at 8000 and 124kn (Forgot setting) I calculated its range to be about 1170 nm without counting TO and Climb.

So with that I determined the legs:

Meigs
Washington DC
Sidney, Canada
Narsasuaq, Greenland
Somewhere in Iceland
Somewhere in England
Paris, France
Seville, Spain

what do you think of it? Is it impossible or possible using these legs? Should I change anything?

Have you got any recommendations?

I would appreciate any answers.


Don't call me weird, call me spongey.
BTW: What website do you use for your charts? I've got the real life Washington, Narsarsuaq, Paris and Seville approach plates, but am still in need for more.

talk about ESOPS!

I haven't done any calculating on it, but everything is possible!

Depending on the prevailing winds you could also consider staging through the Azores. IRL Cessna's and Pipers, Cirrus's and Lancair's are all ferried through either of those routes.

You could also consider fitting a `ferry tank` for the crossing - add a nominal weight for the tank and associate gubbins to the aircraft.cfg file and then allow yourself an `inflight refuel` of whatever the tank capacity is to represent turning round and turning the cock manually.
