Overflying Cuba?
Years ago, we overflew Cuba on KLM, a Dutch airline, to Aruba and Bonaire for a scuba-diving trip. At that time, I recall, U.S. Airlines were barred from overflight.
Can a civilian RV overfly Cuba on the way to Jamaica for fuel? Then on to Colombia and down to Chile. Where do you find the necessary information regarding overflight of countries like Nicaragua, if Cuban overflight is barred?
Thanks,

Pierre,
Paul Rosales posted about a trip to the Caymans and how they were allowed to overfly Cuba using an IFR flight plan. IIRC.

Check out Paul & Victoria Rosales' RV-6A Travel Stories. They've been there, done that. Also, AOPA should have the latest on the requirements.

My 170 has an entry in the logs indicating it flew into Havana in 1955. The rules have changed since then...

Unless you contact Cuba directly and apply for he overflight permit..
This is the easiest and cheapest handler I have found and used.

See post #7. Very easy. The fee to join DID pay for one overflight permit.
I did it going to the Caymans. I did not check to see if a previous post discussed all the overflight corridors.

The Cuban-approved routing out of Key West is direct TADPO, airway G448, direct UVA (VOR) direct UCL (VOR).
Here's a copy of my 2005 Cuban Overflight Form from our Cayman Islands 2005 trip....and I'm already planning our return to the Cayman Islands and Belize in 2015  Rosie
