You should plan this way: MTOW-Empty weight+fuel required for the trip=cargo weight you'll be able to haul. If it works out that you do need to stop for fuel, I recommend Bishkek (Manas), Kyrgyzstan. IATA: FRU ICAO: UAFM. It's a 13,780 ft. runway! "

Huh - via Bishkek ? I'd rather suggest to cross the Pacific and make a stop in PANC [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]

Last time to go to Sidney from London i was able to make the first stop over in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia and they are more or less the same miles. But form the metar and wind alofts i had for almost all the trip wind in the tail pushing me making me have a GS of 530 knots. So i was lucky or i planned a stop over at leats 1000 nautical miles earlier [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] Anyway thank You for te suggetsion:D PANC was my idea too:D But i would be cold:D

"MAN am I a dummy...... I wasn't paying attention to ""KLCK""....duh. I thought I saw EGPK! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif[/img] For some reason I thought you were going to Glasgow/Prestwick. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif[/img] You'll make it to Ohio on one tank of gas. I made it from Incheon to JFK about a month ago with no problem. Especially flying from West to East. You'll get the tradewinds to your back."
