This morning, I did my first transatlantic in the new Challenger 350, and I decided to make it a bold one. I took off from London City early in the morning and I flew all the way to Sullivan County Intl. Sullivan County is a small uncontrolled airport in the state of NY that serves mostly private jets, and its runway is equipped with an ILS system as well. Even though it’s 3D-modeled in Infinite Flight, it’s a very under-appreciated airfield. The route was more than 3000nm, pushing the challenger to its very limits, especially considering the fact that I was carrying 8 passengers.

Here we are at Sullivan County. I had only 250lbs of fuel left, aka 3%, which meant I would have ran out of fuel if I had to go around. That was a close one.
