Dear Sir (Roger Krieger),

I don't know if my recent experience is of any interest to you, but I last week flew with my German-registered Tecnam P-92 (UL) from Athens to Amman, Jordania. The routing was via Milos, Rhodos, Adana, Gaziantep, over Syria non-stop to Amman (Marka).

I have not encountered any problems on the way, and the Syrian ATC was very nice with me and treated me like an IFR flight, since I had received prior permission (3 days) from the Syrians and the aircraft has a mode A/C transponder.

Jordan is very nice with light-type aircrafts, and I know that King Abdallah is very supportive of general aviation. So, if any, my piece of advice would be to route through Jordan, and then Saudi Arabia, which should not be a problem at all. This way you could avoid all the hassle in the Middle-East.

I am working with the UN in Jerusalem and are just establishing connections with the Jordanian aviation structures, so if I can be of any help on the ground, just let me know.
Cheers,

Rudi Luchmann
