| Cape Dyer CWFD in Nunavut, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Cape Dyer is on the southeast corner of Baffin Island, around 120 miles east of Pangnirtung at approximately N66 45 W61 30. There is a fine view north up the Davis Strait between Baffin Island and Greenland, and this is the whole reason for the airfield's existance as it was built to support the construction and operation of a DEW line radar station, which has now been updated to a North Warning System site. There are two camps; the upper camp is on the east side of the Cape and is where the radars are located, linked by a gravel road to the lower camp, which is on the west and more sheltered side of the Cape on the clifs above Sunneshine Fjord. The runway is 5,000' of 150' wide gravel, and it is lighted and at 1,320' feet ASL. Cape Dyer is now listed as abandoned in the Canada Flight Supplement. It is, however, still there and presumably is still used for access to the North Warning System equipment, which is automated and generally unmanned. The buildings were modeled for this scenery and include a hanagar large enough to accommodate a C-130. Ultimate Terrain is not required as it does not cover northern Canada.

| Umiujaq CYMU in Northern Quebec, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Umiujaq is a small village on the east coast of Hudson Bay, in Quebec, around 140 miles south of Inukjuak and 100 miles north of Kuujjuarapik; the latter is where some 500 inhabitants moved from in 1986 to avoid the effects of a hydroelectric dam project and founded Umiujaq. The airfield is a mile and a half inland and southeast of the village, and the 3,520 feet of gravel runway is aligned 03/21, and these are magnetic bearings as Inukjuak is not in the Northern Domestic Airspace zone. There is no fuel available, unless there is some 100LL in drums. The visiting AI airline is Air Inuit from Montreal.

| 13 Northern Ontario Airfields in Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
These are 13 airfields in northwest Ontario, Canada. They were previously posted individually, but not on Avsim. There is a screenshot of Google Earth showing their names and locations. There are also updates to two previously posted airports, Red Lake CYRL and Sioux Lookout CYXL, and AI with the supply flights that are vital for these isolated outposts. Pickle Lake is a northern airfield that is connected to the rest of Canada by an all-weather road, and a large number of the supply flights originate from there. In fact these flights are the primary reason for the small towns existence. This will be followed by a posting of a similar number of northern Manitoba airfields. You may wonder about the numbers of fuel tanks at these airfields. These are not for the airfield use, they are for the settlement to be able to generate electricity and also to provide heating in the winter. If you find an error email me please, and note that my email address has been changed to rogwens at Gmail dot com.

| Hat Island CWHI in Nunavut, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This was a DEW line I Station on Hat Island; the island is around 4 miles square and just under 50 miles southeast of Jenny Lind Island. The station was closed in 1963 and has now been totally dismantled and removed, a fairly easy task given the size. The runway is still there and is a shade over 3,000 feet of gravel 100' wide. There are no lights, signage, or windsock. A North Warning System station was built in 1991 on the site of the I Station, just north of the runway. Most of these DEW line stations are not particularly impressive or even interesting. However, you can bet that any pilot flying regularly in the north along the coast knows where all these runways are, in case one of them suddenly becomes his favourite in the whole world just after the sudden silence.

| Coral Harbour CYZS in Nunavut, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Coral Harbour is on Southampton Island, which partly blocks the northern end of Hudson Bay and is around the size of Switzerland. The village has a population of just under 800 people and is some 200 miles from Cape Dorset, Ivujivik, and Repulse Bay, and 230 miles from Chesterfield Inlet to the southwest. Cape Dorset and Ivujivik have already been posted and Chesterfield Inlet will be posted later this month. The airfield is inland from the village and the 5,000 feet of gravel runway is aligned 155T/335T where T stands for "true" as opposed to magnetic in the Northern Domestic Airspace. JETA-1 fuel is officially available, and in practice so is 100LL, though the latter will be in drums. The visiting AI airlines are First Air and Calm Air.

| CYVQ - Norman Wells - Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Norman Wells is the last of a series of airfields that are along (or close to) the Mackenzie River and in the Northwest Territories. It is 290 miles southeast of Inuvik and just 40 miles northwest of Tulita. The town growth was accelerated by the discovery of oil in the 1930's and the building of a small refinery in 1937, which is included here; there are now around 840 folks living in the town. The airport is adjacent to the town and has just under 6,000 feet of asphalt runway. North Wright Airways is headquartered there and this is reflected in the AI, which is for all of the newly-posted Mackenzie River postings. There is also helicopter AI, Canadian North, First Air, and there are GA flights. There is a mandatory frequency and the Norman Wells tower is manned 24 hours a day so you will follow atc instructions. In real life the terminal is on two levels; this steep change in terrain level is not possible to achieve in FS9 so although I made it as a two level terminal (ready for the FSX version?) it is here modified into a single level building. There are several "taxiways" which lead to the runway but are without hold short markings. These have been shown but are not included as AI routes. The helicopters presumably hover-taxi to the runway across grass (and snow) in real life; the AI helicopter will taxi on wheels. Note that at mixed-use airports planes and helicopters all follow the same rules of procedure.

| CYGQ - Geraldton - Northern Ontario, Canada * Updated * |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This is my last scenery post; read the text note in the zip. This greatly modifies my previous (2009) post of Geraldton, and has more purpose-made buildings. The new version is stand-alone and does not require you to have previously installed Geraldton; it interacts with Dryden and Sioux Lookout for AI flights. Geraldton is in northern Ontario, 70 miles northeast of Thunder Bay and 50 miles east of Lake Nipigon. The town is on the northern shore of Kenogamisis Lake and strung out northwards to the east-west railway line. The population is around 2,400 and the origins are in mining. The airport is a further 3 miles or so north, just south of Hutchison Lake. CYGQ has just over 5,000' of asphalt aligned 08-26; I think there used to be a second runway in a similar arrangement to the one at Dryden, but that was long ago. At the eastern end of the runway there are hangars that turn their back on an irregularly-shaped and seemingly unplanned apron; this is because it was unplanned. There was a large addition made so that fire fighting CL 415 planes could be parked there in the summer, adjacent to tanks containing foam and chemical additivies. The AI (available with my Sioux Lookout and Dryden posts) includes CL 415 flights.

| Shepherd Bay CWSB in Nunavut, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This was a DEW line Auxiliary Station on the western shore of the lower reaches of the Boothia Peninsula, 50 miles south of Taloyoak and 60 miles east of Gjoa Haven. The station was closed in 1989 but is almost intact except for a diesel tank or two. There are also other buildings nearby, and others on the beach landing area. A NWS automated station was opened in the same year as the Dew station was closed. The runway is also still there and is around 4,500 feet of gravel 100' wide, aligned 027T/207T. There are no lights, signage, or windsock, but the usual large hangar which was built at all Auxiliary Stations still survives. This is one of the more interesting DEW line stations to visit and walk around.

| CZFM - Fort McPherson - Northwest Territories, Canada |
|
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.

File Description:
This was a DEW line I Station in the lower reaches of the Boothia Peninsula, 80 miles south of Taloyoak and 40 miles east of Shepherd Bay. The station was closed in 1963 and the buldings and other items have been removed apart from the garage and some diesel tanks. A NWS automated station was opened there in 1991. The runway is still there and is just over 3,500 feet of gravel 100' wide, aligned 044T/224T, and at 790 feet ASL. There are no lights, signage, or windsock. This is one of the less interesting DEW line stations to visit and walk around.
