Flying to Nicaragua

[Ernie Martin]

As Roger points out, it's NOT a good plan.

A friend of mine delivers GA airplanes to South America. He believes that flight planning and the margins that are prudently required are radically different compared to a flight in the U.S. Not only is the terrain inhospitable and the airports infrequent, but contact with air traffic control is spotty, weather forecasts are less reliable, and search and rescue is often a joke.

Be safe -- stop en route.
