good advice. At the moment FO is quite enthusiastic on researching options on each island, so we’ll see…

GCRR replied – I just have to confirm the date to ensure place on GA parking. For now it seems pretty feasible to visit 4-5 islands in two weeks. We’ll se if we’re still optimistic after getting there – the plan is LDVA-LFMU-LEJR-GCRR-GCHI-GCLA(maybe)-GCGM-GCTS(maybe)-GCLB(maybe)-GCFV-LEJR-LFMU-LDVA. It’s less than 30 flight hours – so for me it’s not enough but FO says it’s too much

I’m probably moving my trip to a bit earlier date – May instead of June. LFMU and LEJR as fuel stops confirmed no problems (at least now, who knows what will be in two-three weeks) and I’m waiting reply from GCRR.

I second terbang on GCRR. Friendly and helpful people. It’s a bit of a walk to the ARO though.

I’ll check GCFV as trip date approaches because it would be shame to be two weeks in the area and not to visit all islands if possible.

I’ve been to GCFV a few years ago as a fuel stop. Normal airport. We were able to grab a sandwich and a coffee while there. That’s all I remember.

Thanks @terbang – then my first leg will be from somewhere in Spain to GCRR. From there I’ll take it easy deciding when and where to continue to.

GCRR is GA friendly. No handling required if you can get a stand on the GA ramp. There is Avgas but you won’t care I haven’t been to GCFV, it is reportedly not GA friendly and there is no Avgas.

These eastern islands are much drier than western ones. The mountains aren’t that high in the east either. While it can be windy too, terrain makes approaches not that demanding.

Thanks to both. What about GCRR and GCFV, are they GA friendly? Similar weather conditions as other neighboring islands?
