| Whaletown CAW9 in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Whaletown is a float base serving a village on Cortes Island, another 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. Regretably, 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 not support AI. In my FS9, close to Whaletown, there was an FS9 or Ultimate Terrain fault consisting of a long straight beach sticking out into the sea for a few thousand feet. This scenery now deletes that.

| Bar River CPF2 in Ontario, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Bar River is an airfield in Ontario, some 20 miles east of Sault Ste Marie. It is owned and operated by Springer Aerospace, an aircraft maintenance company. They specialise in turboprop aircraft and carry out work for several northern airlines plus private owners; they also have a paintshop and have painted planes for a number of airlines including Air Canada. There used to be two runways but one is now only a taxiway and the one remaining is aligned 36-18 and 4,415 feet long. Adjacent to this runway is "the ditch", a 2,000 feet long water runway; there is no way put of the ditch except by fork lift or by take off. In the winter a number of float planes are stored on the airfield for maintenance until the flying season opens again. There are no runway or taxiway lights, and no signage. There is a windsock.

| Sturt Point CWSP in Nunavut, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Sturt Point was a DEW line I Station on the south coast of Victoria Island, 50 miles east of Cambridge Bay. It was closed in 1963 but remains in place, though a 5 man I Station has such a small impact on its surroundings that it is hardly visible. The runway is 3,420 feet of gravel aligned 117T/297T, and there are no lights, signage, or windsock, but there are ruts in the gravel. A North Warning System station was built 15 miles inland and closer to Cambridge Bay, operating from 1991 onwards. This has a short (1,280'?) gravel runway aligned 138T/318T (and named CWSX here). No ruts in the gravel, but also still no lights, signage, or windsock.

| 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.

| Wabush CYWK in Labrador Newfoundland Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Wabush is a small town close to Labrador City, 200 miles north of the Gulf of St Lawrence coast and close to the border with Quebec. The area is known for it's iron mining activity which started in the 1960's. The airport that serves the area is located close to Wabush and there is also a float base on the lake that abutts Labrador. This version is from around 2014. The single runway is aligned 01-19 and is 6,000 feet long, with PAPI on 19 and ILS on 01. Flights by Pascan Aviation, Air Inuit, and Provincial Airlines are included in the AI provided, along with GA flights. I also have WOA ai that provides Air Canada Jazz flights (not included here but worth downloading for Canada). There is also AI for the float base on the lake, which connects to River Deep Lodge for trout fishing on Atikonak Lake around 100 miles to the east and also included here.

| 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.

| Kangiqsualujjuaq CYLU in northern Quebec, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Kangiqsualujjuaq is in northern Quebec on the east side of Ungava Bay, which is to the east of Hudson Bay and around 150 miles wide and 120 miles deep. Kuujjuaq, the administrative capital of northern Quebec, is 100 miles to the southwest. The town is on the bank of the George River, and has also been known as Fort George River, George River, etc. There was a Hudson Bay trading post at the town's location as early as 1838, though it was closed and reopened more than once and the town did not grow because of the trading post; the Inuit lived on the coast during the summer but moved 30 miles inland in winter for trapping. A cooperative was formed in 1959 to market fish, and this was the creative force that brought about establishment of the town; a school was built in 1963.
The airport is to the north of the town in a valley between the surrounding hills at 215 feet ASL. The gravel runway is just over 3,500 feet long and aligned 16/34; there is no PAPI, but there is fuel available, both 100LL and JetA. There are flights by Air Inuit and a warning of caribou on the runway during October and November.

| Golden CYGE in British Columbia, Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
This airfield is in one of the north-south valleys in the Columbia Mountains (which are part of the Rockies) on the border between BC and Alberta. The town of Golden (population just under 4,000) grew along with the Canadian Pacific Railway and the logging industry, both of which are still the mainstays of the town. Tourism is a more recent development along with the Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, which is only 3 miles to the west of the town. There are occasional flights into CYGE related to the richer echelon of tourist groups for Kicking Horse, particularly at the weekends; three actual such flights are included in the AI. Golden CYGE is immediately to the west of the town beside the Columbia River, with the 4,500 feet of asphalt runway aligned 14-32; right hand circuits for 32. There are no runway lights or landing aids, and no taxiway lights, so this airfield is for daylight use only. There is a helicopter company based on the field (Alpine) and a volunteer search and rescue group, a skydiving operation at the northern end, plus an active club with a long open hangar with a club room. A friendly airfield. The AI helicopter was included in my post of Alma CYTF. The Beaver will not show up unless you have the Aerosoft Beaver installed. I found the other planes without a problem on flightsim or avsim. Due to the surrounding terrain AI aircraft will usually impact high ground before landing and then just show up on their parking spots. A northern wind improves but does not totally solve this.

| Squamish CYSE in British Columbia Canada |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Squamish is a town with a population of just under 20,000, located at the northern end of Howe Sound where the Squamish River reaches the sea. Howe Sound is 25 miles deep and around 10 miles northwest of downtown Vancouver. It was for years based on the surrounding timber and a pulp mill, but with the closure of the saw and pulp mills now is more tourist oriented and the escape for Vancouver residents looking for (relative) peace and quiet. The runway is 2,400 feet of asphalt aligned 14-32. The buildings are built on differing levels of terrain, and the taxiways are sloped access ramps between the levels. This, of course, cannot be replicated in FS9, but it explains what at first sight appears to be a strange layout. The buildings are fairly well replicated. This is not an airport, it is an airfield meant for summer use as there is no lighting of any sort for runway or taxiways. The AI includes both GA and the helicopter flights by the two companies with bases at Squamish, Black Tusk and Blackcomb, the latter having several bases in this area with a HQ in Whistler. If you have the Vancouver scenery by FSAddon then you will need to move some of their bgl's aside; there are screenshots so that you can see which ones I have relocated. The UT settings are optional; I have been asked for my personal preferences. If you find a defect, email me.
