The first major pre-flight task is understanding the weather information, to “see” if the conditions are suitable by collecting information about current and forecast conditions along the route that you intend to take and then using the information to develop a good mental picture of the situation that one can expect to encounter during the flight, because of this and other factors. Some flights may be changed or cancelled at short notice.
✎ Flight times are approximate and shown in UTC; they may vary due to weather or ATC slots. Updates will be issued as soon as possible. The final 2026 trip plan is due to be confirmed in mid-September and remains subject to alteration or cancellation owing to a 2000-hour check currently under way.

Flying for 2026 –
Please note that some trips may have additional technical stops and will only appear as the planned flight(s) approach. The flight will only show on FlightRadar24 when ADS-B is active. Flight times are EOBT (Estimated off-block time) in UTC and are subject to ATC restrictions and/or weather. I will update this page regularly, as you may wish to track my progress in real time.
