| Byron Bay CWBB plus Edinburgh Island CWEI in Nunavut, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Byron Bay was a DEW line station on the south coast of Victoria Island, 105 miles east of Lady Franklin Point. It closed in 1993. The buildings are still there, slowly accumulating the patina so admired by collectors on Antiques Roadshow. The runway is just over 4,500 feet and aligned 58T-238T. At the mid point between Lady Franklin Point and Byron Bay there is a North Warning Site on the highpoint of Edinburgh Island, just south of the closed Ross Point station on the "mainland" Victoria Island. The runway is just over 1,400 feet and is also up on the top of the island. There is a steep road down 600 feet to the coast for the annual fuel resupply and maintenance.

| Tuktoyaktuk CYUB in Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Tuktoyaktuk is on the northern coast of Canada, 70 miles north of Inuvik and to the east of the Mackenzie River delta. It has a population of around 900 and because of its natural harbour is a centre for oil exploration activity on the surrounding land and on the Beaufort Sea, with sizeable but now under-used yards dating back to the peak of activity in the late 1970's. On land work is restricted to the winter half of the year, as only the freeze-up makes it possible to move on land with heavy equipment, and during the winter further supples are driven over an ice road from Inuvik up to Tuk. The ice-free summer months are used for floating equipment from Yuk along the coast on barges and then up the rivers to inland sites in preparation for the winter activity. Before the oil there was a DEW line station here, and there is still an automated station on the same site and included here, as are the yards. The airfield is on the coast close to the town and the yards, at 15' ASL. The gravel runway 09/27 is 5,000' feet long and 150' wide; both thresholds are displaced by 200', but of course there are no markings on the gravel. The large apron is on the north side at the centre of the runway and is large enough to accomodate several large planes. Inuvik revised should be installed first, now Tuk, then last of the three Sachs Harbour which has AI for Aklak Airlines flights (operated by Kenn Borek) for all three airfields. There is a separate AI file included here, featuring freight delivery by Buffalo Airways and small planes.

| Kenmore Village Field CF08 near Ottawa in Ontario, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Kenmore Village Field is in Ontario, at the northwest corner of the village of Kenmore. Kenmore is around 13 miles southeast of Ottawa airport and 3 miles east of Bank Farm Field. The village doesn't appear in FS as it is too small, but I have recreated it based on the roads that show in Ultimate Terrain. There is a grass runway 09/27 (actually 086/266) that is 3,100 feet long, and the grass is good, and with lights. The field is owned by a gentleman in his mid 70's who sold his plane five years ago and less than two years later discovered that he really didn't want to give up flying; he then went out and bought another slightly older and cheaper version of the one he sold. The house is in a direct line with the runway approach from the east; try to miss it. There is a large hangar and workshop behind the house and to the north of the runway center line, and a second older hangar on the same side a bit further along, both modeled specifically for this.

| Arctic Runway Signs in the "Northern Domestic Airspace", Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
These are scenery bgl's to replace those previously posted for Cape Dorset, Gjoa Haven, Igloolik, and Whale Cove. All of these airfields are within what is marked on the chart as "Northern Domestic Airspace" and their runway signage is not given as a magnetic bearing but as a true bearing. This is because at those latitudes, close to magnetic north, the magnetic field is more vertical than horizontal and magnetic readings become unreliable. Planes report their course as a true course, and fly at a height that reflects their true course instead of their magnetic course. The picture shows the runway sign for Qikiqtarjuaq CYVM (which used to be called Broughton Island) which I am working on right now, and I realised that my training was so far behind me that I had forgotten all of the above. The boundary line of the two air spaces is not a straight line; the furthest south it reaches is on the west coast of Hudson Bay just north of Churchill. To the east it passes through the southern end of Baffin Island, and to the west it is north of the coast at the Alaskan border, and there is an illustration included here.

| CYSK - Sanikiluaq - Southern Nunavut, Canada Revised |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Sanikiluaq is on one of the Belcher Islands in Hudson Bay, near the northern end of James Bay, and this is a revised version. It corrects the terminal that I made with limited information and faded memories the first time, adds in signage, runway lights, taxiway lights, terminal night textures, and revised AI. The "spare" parking space is the one next to the 4 gas drums on a pallet; line up with the traffic cone. It presumes you have already installed my September 2010 Sanikiluaq post, and this version is not complete by itself.

| Riga Airport - EVRA - Latvia |
|
File Description:
This scenery represents the main international gateway airport to Latvia. Riga is the home of airBaltic, RAF-Avia, Inversija, Lat Charter, Latpass, and is becoming involved in the low-cost destinations boom, with services by Ryanair already established and new services by Aer Lingus. The airport is also in talks with Easyjet regarding the possibility of services. For longer-haul, Uzbekistan stages a 767 through here to New York, and Israir operates a weekly 757 service to Tel Aviv. If you fancy flying an An-72 or IL-76 in FS9, you now have an airport to go with it. Gate numbers at the pier are accurate, gate numbering elsewhere is guesstimated; the airport has full night lighting. As with my Sharjah scenery (just receiving a minor upgrade) I have included a fair amount of off-airport detail. Please enjoy your stay in Latvia!
