File Description:
Paulatuk is on the coast of northern mainland Canada, 200 miles east of Tuktoyaktuk and 170 miles southwest of Ulukhaktok. It is just to the east of the Parry Peninsula, which has at its northern tip the Cape Parry DEW line Main Station. Paulatuk was established in the 1920's, and the population now numbers around 320. Paulatuk airfield is close to the village but on higher ground, while the village follows the curve of the coast. The 4,000 feet of 100 feet wide gravel runway is aligned 021T/201T where T stands for "true" as opposed to magnetic in the Northern Domestic Airspace. Only JETA-1 is available unless there is 100LL in drums. There are flights by Aklak Air from Inuvik, which is around 250 miles to the west; Aklak Air is actually Kenn Borek under a diferent name. The AI is for a daily passenger flight, and for a cargo flight on Wednesdays. In the summer, float planes use the lake to the south of the village, but I have no information as to docks or any other facilities; probably there aren't any.
