| Port Hardy CYZT in British Columbia, Canada |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
Port Hardy airport is on the coast of Vancouver Island in BC, at the far northern end and 5 miles east of the town. The town and the airport are both gateways to local touristic attractions such as Cape Scott Provincial Park, the North Coast and BC Marine Trails, and kayaking, caving, surfing, fishing, camping, and scuba diving (and I discovered just how big orca are). Fishing, logging, and mining have been important and to an extent still are for the town population of just over 4,000. The airport, along with the ferries, connects Port Hardy to the rest of the west coast with Pacific Coastal Saab 340 or Beechcraft 1900C flights to and from Vancouver at least twice a day. There are also Grumman Goose amphibious flights to local float bases such as Port McNeill, Alert Bay, Whaletown, Surge Narrows, Echo Bay, and Minstrel Island. These are all included in the AI and previously posted. There are three runways: 11-29 of 5,000 feet with ILS on 11 and righthand circuits on 29, 07-25 of 4,000 feet with righthand circuits on 25, and 16-34 with a much shortened 3,500 feet on 34 due to a displaced threshold. There is a control tower but it is not manned 24 hours a day; a "mandatory frequency" (MF for short and a Canadian invention) is used by the tower when it is manned, and when there is no tower response the aircraft continues to announce intentions and position. Something I have been meaning to explain to those who query it, is that in real life as well as in FS9 helicopters at a mixed use airport or airfield will act as if they are planes and join downwind, turn on base and then finals, "land" along the runway and then use the taxiway to the parking. This means all aircraft are doing the same thing and an orderly queue avoids collisions. This is one of a series connected in some way with Pacific Coastal airline destinations, the first being Bella Coola. There is AI available for Pacific Coastal online.

| Alert Bay CYAL in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Alert Bay is a small village on the small Cormorant Island, offshore from Port McNeill near the northern end of Vancouver Island. There is an airfield at the eastern end of the island with an asphalt runway 2,900 feet long aligned 09-27, without lights. Two houses have access with hangars at the edge of the field and at the end of their gardens. Nothing special about it but it completes the local scenery around Port McNeill.

| Surge Narrows CAG9 in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Surge Narrows is a float base serving a small village on Read Island, one of the many islands squeezed between Vancouver Island and the mainland at this northern end. At this island passengers are delivered by amphibious Grumman Goose from Port Hardy, the main airport of the northern half of Vancouver Island with daily scheduled flights onward to and from Vancouver International. The AI was included with the post of Port Hardy. Regrettably, the amphibious Goose behaves as if it is on land and moves on the water with it's wheels extended; there is no way around this. This scenery is a modification of a post made some years ago that did nor support AI.

| Anahim Lake CAJ4 in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Anahim Lake is around 55 miles east of Bella Coola by air, and clear of the deep and rugged valley that connects the two with a road that is over 75 miles long. The two are also linked by a daily Pacific Coastal flight. A further 150 miles east is Williams Lake (200 miles by road). The town of Anahim Lake is small, but renowned for numerous surrounding fishing lodges on the lakes and the enjoyment of "nature" in what is known as the Chilcotin Wilderness. The Anahim Lake airport is an odd one. It appears to have fallen into disuse over a period of years, but is now in the process of being upgraded, with some new hangars (though oddly situated, and with only dirt track taxiway access) and a recently completed terminal building. There is also a plan to upgrade the runway (lights etc, there are currently no runway or taxiway lights) and in general to greatly improve the facilities on offer. The only current airline to fly there is Pacific Coastal. The runway is just under 4,000 feet of asphalt aligned 13-31 and 75 feet wide. There used to be another runway which is still visible but is now unusable, gravel that has not been maintained for several years. The notes for Anahim Lake airfield in the Nav Canada manual warn of "Extensive float plane activity at Nimpo Lake to the south" and of "possible large animals within the airport perimeter". Nimpo Lake activity will follow in further posts.

| Burns Lake CYPZ in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Burns Lake is 90 miles east of Terrace and 130 miles west of Prince George, on the eastern side of the Coast Mountains. The airfield is at 2343' ASL and the 11/29 runway is just over 7,000' of 75' wide asphalt. There are buildings, some of them new, around the apron at the west end of the runway and both JetA and 1100LL are available. There is also a weather station in a fenced area west of the apron. All apron buildings were modeled specifically for this scenery; there may be some missing if new construction has continued in the last three years.

| Boundary Bay CZBB in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Boundary Bay is south of Vancouver in British Columbia, close to the US/Canada border. It is the 5th busiest airfield in Canada measured in terms of take offs and landings as there are several training companies based there. The airfield was purchased by Alpha Aviation in 2009 and and modernised for the 2010 Winter Olympics, the main addition being a new terminal. This is an ex-military training base which was built in 1941, and one of the original hangars still survives. The two runways in use now (07/25 5,600' and 12/30 2,750', both of them 100' wide) are reduced asphalted areas of the original runways; the third runway is now an apron for GA parking and has had hangars built along it. There is JetA and 100LL available. The large building at the east end of the north apron is a HQ and maintenance facility for a helicopter company, Heli-one. All of the north apron buildings on the field have been modelled specifically for this scenery, plus the nearby huge greenhouse farm structures which are visible from further away than the airfield is. AI for Boundary Bay will be posted later this week.

| Health Bay CAD7 in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the fourth in a series of new and renovated float bases in BC. Health Bay is a small village on the west coast of Gilford Island, just 13 miles northwest of Minstrel Island (the previous post in this series). There is no fuel or oil available. The AI is a further adaptation of the original CF36 AI and involves a Baxter Beaver flying from Port Hardy on a round trip in the area through Port McNeill, Health Bay, Echo Bay, and Sullivan Bay. At Health Bay the AI appears to work for both landing and takeoff, though landing will still depend on wind direction. I have played with circuit height and runway length at Minstrel Island and there are improvements, so there is a Minstrel Island replacement bgl. All of these float bases can be installed together in the same folders, with a saving in duplicate textures. So a series called BC Floats (or whatever you want to call it) or individually installed float bases; your choice. The next in the series will be Echo Bay, shown in an included screenshot.

| Echo Bay CAA7 in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the fifth in a series of new and renovated float bases in BC. Echo Bay is a floating marina on the northwest coast of Gilford Island, just 6 miles northwest of Health Bay (the previous post in this series). It is run by a beard called Pierre and his wife, and the food seems to attract crowds. Watch the video, and others about the marina; some of the more interesting buildings are replicated here, others are representative. There is no fuel or oil available but you can post a letter as there is a post office in the store that sells food etc to boaters. The AI is a further adaptation of the CF36 AI and involves a Baxter Beaver flying from Port Hardy on a round trip in the area through Port McNeill, Health Bay, Echo Bay, and Sullivan Bay, plus Harbour Air from Vancouver, and small GA. At Echo Bay the AI appears to work for both landing and takeoff for the Beaver and sometimes for the Otter, depending on wind direction. All of these float bases can be installed together in the same folders, with a saving in duplicate textures. So a series called BC Floats (or whatever you want to call it) or individually installed float bases; your choice. The next in the series will be Sullivan Bay, another floating marina. I have used what was a RWY12 boat here, but my RWY12 no longer includes the "Port and Sea" part that included this and other boats. Somewhere I must still have the textures as they are showing up as required, but I cannot find them to include them here. Hopefully your installation will find them on your hard drive and use them. If not, complain to me and I will attempt to demonstrate diligence.

| Port Hardy CAW5 in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is the sixth in a series of new and renovated float bases in BC. Port Hardy CAW5 is in a sheltered inlet on the northeast coast of Vancouver Island, close to the town and just 6 miles northwest of the Port Hardy airport. There is fuel (both JetA and 100LL) and also oil available, and the base acts as a refuelling centre for the other float bases in the neighbourhood. The dock is one-sided as the northern side borders a shallow area that is in fact exposed at low tide, as is most of the inlet to the south of BC Packers (adjacent to the float base, to the south). The parking along the dock is maximised by backing up each plane by hand so that it is close to the one behind it; this is not possible to replicate with AI in FS9 (watch the video). Watch out for the log boom on the other side of the inlet, it is there to protect fish farm "pools". The AI involves several Beavers and Otters, as listed in the AI folder. At Port Hardy all the AI works for both landing and takeoff for all of the planes, no matter what is the wind direction. There is a pic of the Supplement Port Hardy page, showing the two take-off and landing areas plus the third area that is to be used for take-off before 7am. All of these float bases can be installed together in the same folders, with a saving in duplicate textures. So a series called BC Floats (or whatever you want to call it) or individually installed float bases; your choice. The next in the series was suposed to be Sullivan Bay, another floating marina, but I digressed to Port Hardy and Port McNeill (next to be posted). The two hotels by the nearby marina are included. One of them gave me weird problems and I gave up on achieving the correct shape.

| Columbia Metropolitan Airport KCAE Single-Layer AFCAD |
|
File Description:
This single-layer AFCAD file, named KCAEBB.txt, is an FS2002 facility file for the Columbia Metropolitan Airport in Charleston, South Carolina. It adds as many gates as possible to the airport. The gates are logically labeled, but may not reflect their real-world equivalent. My goal was to add 'life' to the airport, not recreate an exact replica of the real thing. All runways are available for FS2K2 to select the active. The file ID is KCAE and has the following gate distribution: Heavy-1, Medium-2, Small-7, Express-10, GA-11. I have included Lee Swordy's AF Installer along with this file. It automatically installs it into FS2002. To use the installer, simply click on the file KCHSBB.txt and drag it onto the AF Installer icon.
