I have been working with a friend (we coordinate our annual Caribbean
flights together) on flying a GA airplane to Cuba. Well, we finally
have all the U.S. documentation required to fly his Cirrus SR20 to Havana
Cuba and today received Cuban landing permit to arrive on Sept 4th and
return on Sept 7th. We will be the 1st U.S. registered Cirrus ever to land
in Cuba. A senior representative from the Cuban Civil Aviation
Authority might meet us upon arrival to talk about coordinating future GA
trips from the U.S. to Cuba. We have also been asked by General Aviation
News to document the trip for publishing in one of their editions.
I will be the PIC for the flights since my friend is not instrument rated
and you can only fly IFR to Cuba. I have flown his airplane on many
occasions, the last time was in December when I helped ferry it from the
Dominican Republic to Miami. As of today, and barring an unforeseen
mechanical issue, the only thing that might prevent this from
happening would be very bad weather.
Some time after we get return I want to fly my KIS4 there and become the
1st U.S. registered experimental aircraft into Cuba. For now keep
this fairly low key until it hits the news. And yes, my wife (Millie) will
make the trip with us.
