Hi everybody, just wondering if anyone had any tips for flying a overseas Flight plan. I plan to fly one soon, maybe KSFO to EGLL. Or if anyone has any recommendations as to where to fly.
What device are you using?
If youâre using a powerful device (check this page out to see how powerful your device is)
Then you should be fine just flying away, however If your using an older/ less powerful device, I recommend clearing your RAM, turning down graphic settings, putting on low power mode, lowering your devices brightness⌠and you should have a great flight!
(oh and p.s, I recommend using fpltoif.com to create accurate/ realistic flight plans for your flight!

Iâve done loads of long. Haul flights. Iâm currently on my way from nzaa to egll. I do pretty much as suggested above works fine for me just make sure you keep your phone charged and away from kids (Iâve learnt that lesson recently. đ)

Make sure to set your brightness all the way down and set the camera to âScenicâ to avoid screen burn. Also, make sure you have low power mode ticked. You can use fpltoif.com for flight plans as well. As long as you can land before you run out of fuel, you should be good! đ

Also. Watch your speed. Donât go blasting around a m.88 if you get a tailwind it will put you in a situation where youâre Over speeding and you will get violations. Iâm usually at m.83 - m.85 Thatâs the max I fly at.

If itâs a ultra long haul route, using the step climb method is very resourceful and helps you maintain fuel rather then burn off a majority during your climb. Here a guide to step climbing that is very useful!

A great tip for longer flights is to have a lot of fuel.

Longer flights are awesome. Generally I begin like always making the flight plan then taking off until FL350 and activated the AP and mach 0.88.
The longer flight I make in the night, so you can choose flights with a duration of 12 hours or 6 hours. You can travel from KJFK to EGLL or EHAM, or a flight from KSFO to Dubai or Abu Dhabi, itâs wonderful. You can travel to everywhere in IF.
