| Vancouver Island and Inner Passage float bases in BC, Canada |
|
File Description:
This is a series of float bases to the east of the northern part of Vancouver Island. They are all zipped together because: first, they are all in the same geographical area and if you like one you may like them all; second it means I only write one set of notes; and third I only upload once. I was looking to fill in the gap between what Holger Sandmann and his cohorts have done with Alaska, and Vancouver and Vancouver Island to the south, and there are these 16 float bases in a stretch of 180 miles between the northern part of Vancouver Island and the mainland coast. And if you leave out the relatively isolated Rivers Inlet to the north then they are all within a 140 mile stretch. Some are on the east coast of Vancouver Island, but most are on islands between the mainland and the island.

| CYCE - James T. Field Memorial at Centralia, Ontario, Canada V1 updated |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is an updated version of the original post, revising and adding to AI, parking, rear fences, paths from apron to hangar doors, etc. The Lockheed Constellation was downloaded from the web site California Classics, and with the knowledge and permission of Tom Gibson the modified plane is included here complete with its Air Alaska textures and a modified .cfg file so that it will imitate a lightly loaded plane and squeeze the landing run to suit the runway length of 10-28. The airfield is in southern Ontario, 55 miles west of Kitchener and 25 miles northwest of London, close to the shore of Lake Huron. The airfield is ex-military and was previously listed as Huron Airpark before being officially named the James T. Field Memorial; for me it will always be Huron Airpark. The field is owned by Goderich Aircraft Inc, a company that fits out aircraft with new interiors including instrumentation, seating, and paint schemes. Their main customers are business jet owners, which is why the AI here is oriented towards Lear etc. There are now two runways in use, the third being closed and marked as such (though still listed in the AI for you to select one to land on). The main runway is 10-28 and just over 5,000 feet. The second runway is 16-34 and 4,400 feet, with only identification numbers and centreline markings. There appear to be no apron lights, taxiway lights or runway signage currently installed. There is a small club hangar (and club room) adjacent to the main apron at the southern end, with GA parking, and there are two large hangars (one new) used by Goderich at the northern end. The remainder of the original large hangars are now in use as light industrial units unrelated to aviation, the most obvious of which is a garbage collection company with numerous parked garbage trucks. One of the hangars adjacent to the apron does incorporate what appears to be a new set of hangar doors (the red one) but it is unclear if this is actually in use for a plane. The control tower is no longer in use, and there is only limited snow clearance in the winter by Goderich; presumably they only clear it when they need to use it themselves.

| Hay River - Merlyn Carter Airport NT |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This scenery is the Hay River (CYHY)NT, Canada Airport located on the Southern side of Great Slave Lake. This small busy airport is an important part of the moving of freight and passengers to the North. During the spring and fall when the ice roads are not passable and the waterways cannot be used these Northern airports are vital to get the essential into Northern communities. Buffalo Airways is a great user of this airport for moving freight and passengers as well as operating a fleet of fire fighting tankers.

| Metro Field MTF in Fairbanks Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Metro Field is more of a float plane "pond" than a field, close to and northeast of Fairbanks International Airport in Alaska. There is a gravel strip alongside the water, but the "strip" is actually a gravel road that functions as a runway when required. And if that sounds familiar it is also pretty much the description for nearby Chena Marina, though Metro is nowhere near as busy. This is one of four float plane bases around Fairbanks. You will definitely need Ultimate Terrain Alaska Canada.

| Stewart CZST and CAC9 in British Columbia Canada, plus Hyder 4Z7 in AK |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Stewart is in northern British Columbia, around 115 miles north of Terrace, 70 miles northeast of the open sea, and 2 miles from the Canada/US border at the head of a fjord named the Portland Canal. Both Stewart and the nearby Hyder in AK thrived along with silver and gold mining in the early 1900's in the AK and BC interiors and in 1914 Stewart's population was over 10,000, but the current population is now less than 500. This scenery includes Stewart airport (CZST) and also Stewart floats (CAC9) plus Hyder floats 4Z7 which is within sight of Stewart but in Alaska. 4Z7 is based upon the three FSAddon freeware and payware Alaska sceneries, and without whichever one covers Hyder (I forget which) the float base will be isolated way offshore. The Stewart airport is adjacent to the town. There is a single runway that is unlit and just under 4,000 feet of asphalt aligned 18-36, with right hand circuits on 18; a brief view of the surrounding terrain makes it quite clear why. This version is for a period around 2010 to 2012 or so, before a second fuel tank was installed. There are no regularly scheduled flights to Stewart, only GA and charters, but the airport survives with the tourist trips. I have not forgotten the signage for CZST; there isn't any. There is also no clearly defined and fenced boundary to the airport, with a gravel apron beyond the asphalt that then fades to dirt and grass and a road. Hyder has no land connection to the rest of Alaska except through Stewart and a long road trip; the only direct link is by float plane to Ketchikan, 75 miles in a straight line. The AI includes this.

| CYXN - Whale Cove - Hudson Bay, Nunavut, Canada, Version v2 modified 1 July 2014 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This revised version deletes stock FS9 taxiway lights and replaces them. It also modifies and corrects the PAPI positioning, and removes a visible hold short that should have been invisible on the gravel. This is a complete version and does not require you to have installed the old version. Whale Cove is a small village with 300 or so inhabitants at N62 W92 on the west shore of Hudson Bay, 40 miles south of the large airport at Rankin Inlet. The runway is just under 4,000 feet and aligned 330T-150T, these being true and not magnetic bearings. The AI is included with the post of Chesterfield Inlet V1 and the earlier version is omitted from this post to avoid confusion.

| Alternates for Durban Island CWFB FOX-E DEW line station in Nunavut, Canada |
|
File Description:
These are alternative bgls that include a flatten. They will change the shape of the hill that the FOX-E station sits on top of, but they will also make sure that there are no "floating" or "buried" scenery objects. If you are having that problem then just throw these into the scenery folder that you already created when you installed Durban Island, and say Yes! to over-write or whatever the question is. If you have a mesh that is compatible with what I use then you won't be having that problem, so don't do anything.

| Chena Marina AK28 in Fairbanks Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Chena Marina AK28 is a float plane "pond" close to and southwest of Fairbanks International Airport, with a gravel strip alongside the water; the "strip" is actually a gravel road that functions as a runway when required. Or maybe it's a runway that functions as a road? Though it doesn't come close to the activity level of Lake Hood in Anchorage Alaska it is still a fairly busy place, and in fact Fairbanks is a hub of summer floatplane activity with a water runway at the International Airport and another "pond" known as Metro Field that is between Fairbanks and the river, plus a base on the Chena River. In this download there is a scenery folder, land-class folders, an AFCAD folder, and a "Traffic" folder, and you will definitely need Ultimate Terrain Alaska Canada.

| Bettles PABT in Alaska |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Bettles is around 175 miles north of Fairbanks in ALaska, and 25 miles north of the Arctic Circle. It is also where James "Andy" Andersen started flying for Wien Airlines and where he spent the 20 years between 1947 and 1967. Read "Arctic Bush Pilot" by Andy and Jim Rearden for his story of those 20 years flying the bush. Bettles PABT is the gravel strip and due to the limitations of FS9 AI the float base on the adjacent river has to be separately named PABX. Bettles village (old Bettles) used to be 2 miles southwest of the field, but has now slowly relocated close to the strip. In this download there is an AFCAD folder, landclass folders, a scenery folder, and a traffic folder. You will need Ultimate Terrain Alaska Canada.
