With Cessna 182
From Prague to Johannesburg

Equipment

a) for the aircraft

b) for search and rescue

c) for survival

d) for staying on board

We are flying to countries where we can hardly expect what can happen. Therefore, we are taking spare wheels, spark plugs, gaskets, sealing, screws, tools in imperial units, pump to draw fuel from the jeriican to the aircraft, anchors for parking in wind. The type of equipment our parents used to have to drive to the beach in Bulgaria.

We will do our best to prevent an air crash. We are getting ready for all possible situations. Except for the standardized aircraft equipment, we are taking emergency transmitter ELT, a satellite telephone and a personal emergency locator PLB.

For emergency landing on water, we are bringing a waterproof baggage with drinking water, food and life vests.

For emergency landing on land, we take: about 20 liters of drinking water, water filter Katadyn, 6 food packages MRE (Meal Ready to Ear) made by US Army. We hope we don’t have to eat those. We prefer something fresh.

Long daily stages on board of the plane complicate the body excretion. We spent some time to discuss how to do resolve your toilet needs within the space resembling the back seat of a car.
