For flying [more than 30 km from an airport] in what we call the mountaineous area, which basically is the northwest half of Sweden, most of which is flat (and somewhat similar to Alaska) with aircraft up to 5700 kg there are special rules, among them (abbreviated and paraphrased):
2. You have to notify someone where you're going and when you've arrived.
3. The people on board must wear suitable clothing with contrasting outer garments.
4. It's recommended that additional maps [for use on the ground] are brought.
6. The aircraft must have high visibility markings.
7. The following signalling equipment including instructions must be carried and stored together and easily accessible:
One flare gun with 10 red flares
Two signalling torches for day and night
Dynamo flashlight or one with spare batteries
Plastic whistle
Signalling flag (1 x 1 m) flouroscent red
8. Survival equipment to be carried:
One sheath knife or multitool with knife blade/saw
Saw or wire saw
One rescue [foil] blanket, sack or suit
Two waterproof boxes of storm matches
Two waterproof boxes of matches
Stove with 1 l of fuel
Emergency food (vacuum dried soup, coffee, salt, sugar, candy, chocolate, chewing gum and dried fruit) enough for two days per person
One box headache pills
One box water free skin balm
Two sticks (or corresponding) mosquito repellant
During winter also:
One pair skis (mini or partitionalble) with staffs per person
