If you're planning a trip through Iqaluit to or from Greenland, we recommend you have a look at Bob Webster's Flying to Europe website.  He has answers for just about every question about making the trip, though he seems like a pretty modest guy and hardly one to brag about it.

We've met many flyers in everything from Saab jets to microlights who've made the trip. We hope this collection of information sources is helpful.  If you have anything to add, let us know.

Below you'll find a collection of links to sources of information you may find useful, along with some links to people who have published trips reports on the web. We've also included some information for pilots coming from the U.S. There are some differences in rules and terminology in Canada... we hope these links help.
