If anyone has any suggestions as to the best way to do this, I'd appreciate it. Not sure what you mean. You don your life vest, get in the plane and go. And show up in the news. A potentially very dangerous advice. I've never flown in Norway myself, but judging from photos, discussions and general geographical knowledge, flying the fjords is pretty much mountain flying (albeit a sea level). So be sure to know the appropriate basics. Additionally, the coast is oriented to the west, which means it's toward the weather side. Expect rapid weather changes which, together with the aforementioned fiords, most probably bear their own traps. If you're experienced in mountains, then you probably should be able to figure that out on your own. Otherwise, I would strongly suggest to hire a flight instructor who can introduce you to the particularities. If you understand some German, there's a short report in a German forum http://www.eddh.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=736 (It's the third, the long, article. If you don't understand German, then maybe you can attempt to extract some sense from a babeljoke "translation".) You'll find some links there, too, and the pilot who wrote that report will probably agree to answer some questions, if you politely contact him by e-mail. As for the information about flight rules particularities: The general section of the Bottlang Airfield Manual should cover that, or, of course, the Norwegian AIP. Stefan |
