104h19min Nonstop Meridian Flight – Could This Be IF’s Longest Ever?

Hey everyone! :waving_hand:

Over the past few days, I took on a personal challenge that really pushed both myself and AP+ to the limit — flying along Earth’s meridian direction, completing roughly 2.22 full loops around the globe :globe_with_meridians:, with a total flight time of 104 hours and 19 minutes :stopwatch:.

:airplane: Route:

EGLL (London Heathrow) ➝ multiple segments ➝ FAOR (Johannesburg OR Tambo)

:round_pushpin: Total time: 104h19min

:compass: Automation: AP+ used during cruise

This was hands down one of the most intense and patience-testing flights I’ve done in IF.

:warning: Challenge:

Challenge: Fuel management was tricky — after 47 hours, my aircraft might show 218% fuel remaining. This can cause severe overweight and even lead to stall if not handled carefully. :grimacing:

Now I’m wondering:

:magnifying_glass_tilted_right: Could this be the longest single-session flight in Infinite Flight history?

:pushpin: Has anyone done something crazier?

Would love to hear if anyone else has attempted something similar or knows of legendary records out there. Let’s see if this sets a new bar! :chequered_flag:

Not even close. And this was before AP+.

Insanely harsh way to deliver this comment :sob:

What was your altitude and air speed on this attempt? @NCDE
