Maybe a stupid question, but is an oceanic clearance required flying from Europe to Iceland?

Thanks

If you route far enough North, to avoid MNPS airspace the answer is NoP

humm...how far North?...we are talking Europe-Iceland here.

Reykjavik Oceanic Clearnace Procedures:

Flights entering Oceanic OCA shall contact Iceland radio with request prior to reaching OCA.

from Edmenton/Murmansk use HF
from Scottish or Stravangar use 127.85 or HF

Maintain listening watch on frequencies until instructed to contact Iceland.If clearance is not received by point of entry aircraft are expected to continue into Reykjavik OCA and continue to try and contact Iceland.

If sill unable A/C are expected to try on Satcom (425105)

(Info from Scott IPC cockpit ref book pg 40)


Having done this, dont worry, its a non event. About 10 mins from boundary call them with a routine pos report.

good luck.

If you fly from/to Glasgow/Prestwick or Bergen, you don't need an oceanic clearance

I believe there are "special routes". I believe they are in MNPS airspace and Yes, you will need an Oceanic. If I am correct you remain VHF the entire time. The most important question is where will you be departing from? For instance, if you are leaving from Shannon, you may pick up your O.C. on the ground. If not, and you are further east, you will be required to contact Shandwick Oceanic at least (if practical) 45 minutes prior to their boundary. I am almost positive that you will need to have a current TMI # as well, even though you are staying well north of the tracks. Sorry, but it has been a while...
