| Whati CEM3 in the Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Whati is a village at the southern end of Lac La Martre, a smaller lake (only by Canadian standards, at over 40 miles long) halfway between the Great Slave Lake and the Great Bear Lake and around 100 miles north of Yellowknife. The North West Company established a trading post there in 1793, and this was the centre for local trading in the area for 100 years until a post was opened by the Hudson Bay Company on the Great Slave Lake. The current population is in the region of 520. There is no graded road access and access is by boat or air. The main local economy revolves around hunting and fishing, with efforts being made to increase tourism amid the wilderness and the wildlife. The airfield is just over a mile east of the village, with a runway of around 3,400 feet of gravel aligned 09-27 as of 2010, with PAPI at both ends and lit. There are scheduled flights from Yellowknife by Air Tindi, included in the AI, and some GA. The terminal building is similar to that of Lutselk'e, but with a different colour scheme and with solar panels on the roof. It appears that they repaint the sign on the front of the building with a different wording every time; the one I have used is one of three that have existed in the last few years. The photos I had originally were taken in the winter, with snow. Seeing it in the summer I discovered that my version of the building is not at the right level above the ground by about a foot, or 30cm. I was too lazy to make it again, which was the only way to get it right and still have it throw a shadow on the ground. This scenery modifies the lake shore, corrects levels for land and lake, and adds the village and a connecting road in addition to the airport. A note here about my scenery making. There will not be many more to follow this as I am almost at the end of the photos I either took or found for scenery purposes, plus I expect to move on from FS9 at some point during next year.

| Baker Lake CYBK in Nunavut, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Baker Lake is the only Nunavut community that is not next to the sea. It is, as you might have guessed, on the shore of Baker Lake and 160 miles west and a bit north of Rankin Inlet on the shore of Hudson Bay (a recent post by Sid and Pete). The Hudson Bay Company opened a trading post there in 1916 and the town slowly developed, though as recently as 1946 the population was still only 32. These days the airfield is the support field for several nearby mines and there are now nearly 1,800 folks in Baker Lake using the stores, schools, churches, hospital, etc. The runway is almost 4,200' of 100' wide gravel and lighted; the alignment is 162T and 342T as this is in northern domestic airspace and bearings are given as 'true" and not "magnetic". Both JETA and 100LL fuel is available. The town is to the northeast of the airfield and is made up of a landclass without autogeneration, as this would mean a bunch of trees that would be, to say the least, unrealistic.

| Operating and Charter Costs |
|
File Description:
Now here is a most unusual file for you.... While one of the great pleasures of Flightsim is a bottomless wallet, For those wanting to fly charter and “keep it reasonable” and realistic, I found three websites that may help - I am sure there must be more.
The first, Controller provides an extensive listing of not only aircraft for sale... but also Aircraft for lease and charter (you’ll be able to determine just how much to charge your passengers. Categories range from Jet - Turboprop - Piston Single - Piston Twin - Antique / Classic - Experimental / Homebuilt - Piston Agricultural - Turbine Agricultural - Piston Military - Turbine Military - Piston Amphibious / Floatplane - Turbine Amphibious / Floatplane - Piston Helicopter - Turbine Helicopter
Two additional websites will give you an idea of just why you ARE charging so much...
For Jets - Omni Jet Trading - has a very comprehensive listing of Performance and Costs for most corporate Jets - From Astra to Westwind and most all inbetween.
For Turbo and Piston - Pierce Aircraft Sales covers operating costs from Beechcraft to the Swearingen Merlin IIIB
Zip file contains the URLs for all three websites...

Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the first of a series of airfields that follow (approximately) that early access route to the Canadian northern shore, the Mackenzie River. At the far northern end of the river and on the eastern side of the delta there is Tuktoyaktuk, then 80 miles south is Inuvik (both already posted). 70 miles south of Inuvik is Fort McPherson, on the east bank of the Peel River, 20 miles west of the junction with the Mackenzie and on the Dempster Highway. The town has a population of around 830, and (as usual in the north!) was the site of a Hudson Bay trading post, the main post for the Mackenzie delta area for over 50 years. The airport is less than 2 miles to the south of the town, and has 3,500 feet of gravel runway. AI is two ga flights and a Buffalo Airways delivery trip that hops north and south from field to field; this will change with further posts. There is no fuel available.

| CYYH - Taloyoak - Nunavut, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Taloyoak is on the coast of northern mainland Canada, on the west of the Boothia Peninsula, where it is at it's narrowest. Gjoa Haven is 80 miles southwest, and Hall Beach is 300 miles to the east. Taloyoak was established around a Hudson Bay trading post that was relocated from Fort Ross in 1948 because of poor ice conditions. There is now a clinic, school, church, recreation centre, two markets, two small hotels, and housing for the population of around 900. The airfield is to the west of the village on higher ground at 92 feet asl, and the 4,020 feet of 100 feet wide gravel runway is aligned 151T/331T where T stands for "true" as opposed to magnetic in the Northern Domestic Airspace. Only JETA-1 is available, unless there is some 100LL in drums. There are flights by First Air and Canadian North and the AI includes a daily flight of each, plus an afternoon cargo visit by a Buffalo C46; the closest large city is Yellowknife, 750 miles southwest.

| Akulivik CYKO in northern Quebec Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is another of the many airfields that are all around the coast of Hudson Bay, this one being on the eastern, Quebec side. Akulivik is around 110 miles south of Ivujivik, which is on the northeastern corner of the Bay, and some 60 miles north of Puvirnituq. The population is 630 or so and the village grew from a move back to the area by one family in 1973, followed by others in the following years; the closure of the Hudson Bay trading post post in 1952 had pushed all residents to move south to Puvirnituq. The village is unusual in that it has a built harbour instead of the usual beached storage of boats. The village is built on the central prong of a three pronged spear of headlands (from which the village name is derived) while the airfield is a mile or so further inland. I have no information regarding what I think may be a new terminal building, so this includes only the old original one. The runway is just under 3,500 feet of gravel aligned 09-27, and the ai includes the scheduled flight by an Air Inuit Dash 8-300, plus GA.

| Lutselk'e CYLK in the Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Lutselk'e is a village on the southern shore of the Great Slave Lake, at the eastern end and about 120 miles east of Yellowknife. The Hudson Bay trading company established a post there in 1925, and the current school opened in 1960. The population is in the region of 330. There is no road access, but the government runs a freight shipping service during the ice-free period of the Summer. The airfield is a mile or so east of the village, with a runway of around 3,500 feet of gravel aligned 08-26 with PAPI at both ends and lit, with lights atop traffic cones. There are scheduled flights from Yellowknife by Air Tindi, included in the AI, as is a once a week freight flight by Buffalo Airways. You will need to have downloaded and installed my runway and taxiway lighting library from recent posts. A note here about my scenery making. There will not be many more to follow this as I am almost at the end of the photos I either took or found for scenery purposes, plus I expect to move on from FS9 at some point during next year.

| Deline CYWJ - Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the third in a series of airfields that follow in a southward direction that early access route to the Canadian northern shore, the Mackenzie River. Deline is south of Tuktuk, Inuvik, Fort McPherson, and Fort Good Hope, all already posted. Deline is at 704 feet asl and around 50 miles east of the the Mackenzie, where the Great Bear River flows out of the western end of Great Bear Lake on its way to the Mackenzie. This lake is huge. The town of Deline has a population of around 500, and the first trading post (of the North West Company) was established there as early as 1799. The Hudson Bay Company opened an outpost in 1825 to support the Franklin Arctic Exploration expedition, and it was then called Fort Franklin. The name was changed to Deline in 1993. The airport is just over a mile north of the town, and has almost 4,000 feet of gravel runway. There is no fuel available. The original airfield is still visible just to the north of the town, from before it was rebuilt on higher ground (better drainage) and away from the houses. AI will follow with later posts.

| Fort Simpson CYFS in the Northwest Territories, Canada |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
Fort Simpson is the sixth in a series of airfields that follow (approximately) in a southward direction the Mackenzie River. At the far northern end of the river is Tuktoyaktuk, then Inuvik, Fort McPherson, Fort Good Hope, Deline, Wrigley, and Fort Simpson Island, all posted. Fort Simpson is at 555 feet asl and on the west bank of the the Liard River, close to Fort Simpson Island and where the Liard and the Mackenzie join up. The town of Fort Simpson is on an island, and has a population of 1,250 or so folks. The Hudson Bay trading post was established here in 1822. The new(er) Fort Simpson airport is just over seven miles south of the town, and has 6,000 feet of asphalt runway. It may be from the WW2 time, as it seems there was originally a second runway which has now totally disappeared, There are scheduled flights by First Air and Air Tindi, plus I have added a Buffalo DC3 and GA. There is a mandatory radio frequency which is for both CYFS and CET4 and in this case I have set the "tower" to "manned" so you will report position and obey instructions. There is fuel available. I have added the ferry at the crossing of the Liard River just south of the field.
