Hi Folks,
I'm giving some thought to do a trip from Madison, WI to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil next year (and back.) I'd really like to do a couple flights in/out of SBRJ in my airplane
Curious what kinds of resources are available to help plan this kind of thing. I have found numerous sites relating to services for dispatch/handling for exec jets for this kind of thing but they are priced accordingly. Anyone have pointers on piston-priced handling services? Or even just weather planning services?
Initial things I'm curious about:
Here is an initial thought on routing:

Thanks!

Initial things I'm curious about:
- what kinds of visa requirements do I have in each of my stops? How do I handle customs, what are the fees?
- What kind of long-term weather forecasting should I be looking at? Is there a bad time to do this? I'm thinking Spring 2020.
- Do I need to sort out fuel ahead of time for these stops? How do I do that?
- I'm not tied to any of these stops, they just seemed to make sense geographically. I'm sure there are better/cheaper/faster ways to do this and I'm very open to them.
- I have an instrument rating and plan to do as much of this as I can on an IFR flight plan. Any concerns?
