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.
