Mere mention of the word Bahamas evokes instant daydreams of relaxing on a beach, golfing or playing tennis, dancing to a beat, snorkeling through a weightless wonderland, and fishing (no license needed). Fun. A feeling of far away. And you can get there in your own airplane; it's not really that far offshore as the general aviation airplane flies. AOPA has prepared a flight-planning guide, available online, to help you plan your flight to the Bahamas. Although it is written to serve as a primer for the first-time flier to the islands, it can serve as a good reminder for the veteran island-hopper as well. This guide is meant to be advisory in nature and is not intended to be a substitute for good, sound flight preparation. Each pilot should plan his or her flight based upon personal experience level, proficiency, aircraft capabilities, and the weather.
