Crossing the Atlantic | Ferry Flight From Alaska to Europe

We face a tense IFR approach in Iqaluit, the final stop before crossing the Atlantic. See how we manage visibility during this ferry flight. This leg of our journey from Alaska to Europe brings us to Iqaluit, where conditions are far from ideal. Relying on reports from previous traffic, we attempt to spot the runway at minimums while navigating the cockpit during a critical landing. It is a raw look at the realities of long-distance aviation where weather and navigation require constant attention to detail. This video provides a transparent look at the pressures of bush flying when the stakes are high. Whether you are an aviation enthusiast or a pilot looking to understand the complexities of international transit, this video captures the decision-making process required to safely complete an instrument approach in challenging northern conditions.
