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.

| Saglek CYSV in northern Labrador, Newfoundland Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Kangiqsualujjuaq is in northern Quebec on the east side of Ungava Bay, and the rocky coastline stretches north from there for 130 miles before turning sharply to head south as the Atlantic shore of Labrador. On this shore and 120 miles almost due east of Kangiqsualujjuaq is Saglek, once a US radar base as part of the DEW line, and then a Canadian base with a Long Range Radar sited 1,200 feet above the airstrip on the top of the vertical cliff. The airstrip is still in use today as an access to the Torngat Mountains Canadian National Park area further north, with organised summer camps and walks etc and helicopter relays from airstrip to campsites. Saglek closes the gap between my post of Kangiqsualujjuaq and the string of airfields further south on the Labrador coast, such as Nain, Davis Inlet, Hopedale, Makkovik, and Postville etc. These have all been made by Flight Ontario and posted along with the Goose Bay Air Base, which also functions as a civil airport.

| Tsuniah Lake Lodge CAF4 in British Columbia Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Tsuniah Lake Lodge is an airstrip that serves the Lodge of the same name at the western end of the lake. Tsuniah Lake is close to the eastern side of Chilko Lake, some 7 miles south of the northern end of Chilko Lake and the recent post of Tsylos Lodge. Tsuniah Lodge is at the eastern and lake end of the grass runway, which is 4,000 feet of grass aligned 04-22 and in good condition at 4,026 feet ASL. No lights. The lodge is extensive with numerous separate cabins and I would expect the prices to be up there with the cost of the chartered planes that delivered guests. There is a second airstrip included here, around 3 miles north of the northern end of Chilko Lake and which used to serve the Wilderness Ranch before it was closed. The runway closed I mean. It is still visible but now not used at all although the ranch still functions. I have posted this as Tsuniah Lake Lodge CAF4, but I suggest that you add this to your "BC airfields" folder as previously suggested. Up to you. If you find a defect, email me.

| Ivujivik CYIK in Hudson Bay, Quebec, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Ivujivik is a village of 350 or so inhabitants at N62 25 W78 on the northeastern corner of Hudson Bay. The village does not feature in FS9 but is included in this scenery with approximately the right shape (the coast, even with UT, is not exactly right) so just think of it as a hand-made auto-generated village which gives the airfield a reason. The runway is 3,500 feet of gravel 100 feet wide, which should be enough. I also added the roads, deleted the stock airfield background and added a new background, plus of course there is the scenery file and the AFCAD and AI. You may note that the terminal has the elevation written on the sign as 126', while on the winter photo it is written on the older & bigger sign as 130'. I thought this is because satellite radar has fixed the elevations of all airfields more accurately than before, as Rockcliffe too has gone from 192' to 188'; the alternative explanation is that global warming has raised sea level by 4'. Wow! That's a thought. I presume the new sign was made smaller as a cost saving.

| 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.

| CZFN - Tulita - Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Tulita (Fort Norman until 1996) is another in the series of airfields that follow (approximately) the Mackenzie River. At the far northern end of the river and on the eastern side of the delta there is Tuktoyaktuk, then Inuvik, Fort McPherson, Fort Good Hope, Deline, Wrigley, Fort Simpson Island and Fort Simpson, and then Fort Liard at the southern end of the list of those in the Northwest Territories. South of Fort Liard there are Peace River and Dawson Creek, both of which are already posted. Tulita is at the junction of the Mackenzie and Great Bear Rivers, on the east bank of the Mackenzie and the south bank of the Great Bear, around 40 miles southeast of Norman Wells. The town has a population of about 480 folks. The airport is above and to the east of the town, and has 3,000 feet of gravel runway. The scheduled flights are by North Wright and I have also added a Buffalo DC3 and GA. There is a mandatory radio frequency but in this case I have set the "tower" to "unmanned" so you will report position and intentions. There is no fuel available.

| 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.

| Fort Liard CYJF in the Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Fort Liard is the seventh in a series of airfields that follow (approximately) the Mackenzie River. At the far northern end of the river there is Tuktoyaktuk, then Inuvik, Fort McPherson, Fort Good Hope, Deline, Wrigley, and then Fort Simpson Island and Fort Simpson, all posted. Fort Liard is at 708 feet asl and on the east bank of the the Liard River, around 130 miles south of Fort Simpson where the Liard and Mackenzie join, and about 25 miles from the borders with both British Columbia and the Yukon. The town has a population of about 560 folks.
The airport is next to the town, and has almost 3,000 feet of gravel runway. I have no information regarding when it was built but it may be from the WW2 time; the cleared and grassed area is long enough for a runway 0f 6,000 feet. There are no scheduled flights but North Cariboo Air have a base at the airport for local charters to support survey teams etc. and are almost an on-demand-scheduled airline. I have also added a Buffalo DC3 and GA. There is fuel available, but only by prior arrangement with North Cariboo. Right hand circuits for runway 20.

| Northern Canada Mining CYOA & CHB3 in Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
These are two airfields in northern Canada, serving two mining operations. The furthest north is Hope Bay CHB3 in Nunavut. It is in a sheltered inlet less than 3 miles from the northern mainland coast and around 65 miles southwest of Cambridge Bay. The owner is Hope Bay Mining Ltd, and their operation mines gold out of a tunnel rather than open cast. The airfield is incorporated into the road that leads north to the sea; traffic is halted by traffic lights when a flight is expected. The runway is 3,000 feet of gravel aligned 01-19 and with PAPI at both ends.
The second airfield serves the Ekati diamond mine and is some 265 miles southwest of Hope Bay, in the Northwest Territories. Ekati was the first Canadian diamond mine and is 195 miles northeast of Yellowknife and less than 20 miles north of a later mine, Diavik (by Sid and Pete). CYOA reflects the relative value of the two mining operations and is far better equipped than Hope Bay. It can be described as an airport while Hope Bay remains an airfield. The runway is 6,400 feet of gravel aligned 36-18 with PAPI and strobe approach lights at both ends. The scale of the mining operation can only be described as huge.

| 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.
