Great video and nice summary, though I think the only thing you missed is the C7A cruising permit that you need to obtain for a private aircraft to enter The Bahamas. It’s a $50 fee and can be obtained online just like eAPIS. Once you arrive and clear customs at an airport of entry in The Bahamas, they will exchange the C7A for the transire that you referenced which will then allow you to fly freely around The Bahamas. Looks like you’re having a nice time in Cat Island - enjoy!!
Brother 🙌🏻 love your channel 📸📽️✈️🛫🛫🛬 I'm American just returned from Mexico 🇲🇽 (Cancun, Cabo San Lucas 😉) and getting my ratings dreaming about when I'll return via My own airplane ✈️! Keep up the excellent work 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Your video was really helpful. I’ve watched it a few times but this time today I’m actually taking my first flight tomorrow. To Bimini! Thanks for the info
Great video, I am planning on doing this flight in my experimental soon. I have a question, did you fly over Freeport/Grand Bahama? I am wondering if you have to be on flight following with them if you fly over
Freeport is just a regular airport. Talk to the tower as you wish. Try Eleuthera, it's beautiful there. Cars are quite expensive to rent tho. The restaurants are slow... we watched a whole movie once while waiting for food. After arriving back at Ft Pierce we went to the Tiki Hut next to customs. We ordered a burger and fries and bam it was on the table. Just looked at each other and laughed.
Hey Russ how strict are the Bahamas about the fcc radio operator. It’s $125 x plane and $35 x pilot. I plan to go to the Bahamas most likely just once .
Woww, and thats is ??,,how can you remember all of that ?? no wonder why you are a Pilot,,,just forgot to mention that we also have to bring a level #9 Chessmaster certificate endorsed by a local notary 🙂

Love it
