Most Remote Adventure: Flight from a Plesant Prince to a Yukon Bowl_Leg 2

The mornings weather in Prince Rupert was perfect. This leg is from Prince Rupert to Dawson City, Yukon.

The flight plan uses Low Alt Airways FL12 /450 kts / 736 mi / 238 gals

The weather and view remained stunning up to Hanes

...and then, welcome to the Yukon. 70 nm from CYDA wind and rain joined the party.

Dawson City Airport is basically in a bowl surrounded by tall trees. CYDA brings new meaning to "Dropping in".

CYDA has a gravel runway that's 5007' X 100'

The Caution notes for Dawson read:

"Hi gnd penetrates tkof/apch slopes aprx 2NM fr each end of rwy."

It could simply read: Hit your marks ...You'll use it all!

Parked, fueled, flight plan made & ready for tomorrows trip to Sachs Harbor.

Most Remote Adventure_Welcome back, bring a coat.

This trip is about the journey, not so much the destination but the location of the destination.

We (Linda and I ...weight and balances, past blogs, yada, yada) departed KPWT on the first leg of our flight to CYLT, Nunavut, Canada (520 nm South of the true North Pole).

CYLT has a gravel runway that's 5500' X 150'. It's a military base so, no problem with runway maintenance. CYLT is reporting 04 C with winds 100 @ 4 kts at this writing ...bring a coat.

We are flying Flightsimware's Lear 35.

We departed KPWT for the 571 mile leg. The first stop on our trip,  Prince Rupert, Canada. CYPR.

The flight took 1:16 at 450 kts. We burned 185 gals of fuel (about 1240 lbs.) @
$5.49 per gal average for Jet A in North America
$1,015 tfp.

The weather for the flight was clear with moderate chop at FL28

Dropping through the clouds on final approach into CYPR

A 6000' X 200' paved runway is a treat on this adventure. It's also a good place to practice "whoa'n up" Little Bird quickly

Parked, topped off and ready for tomorrows leg to Dawson City, Yukon.
