This is a VFR GPS flightplan route from Terrace BC CYXT to Sandspit BC CYZP
Flight distance is 147 nm.
The VFR flight is at 9500 feet. Sandspit elevation is 21 feet.
I've also included the IFR version of the plan which is flown at FL240. This would be great in an aircraft like the TBM. This area does get some really horrible weather in the fall and winter months, so it's always interesting. I presume you're using some program like navigraph, little navmap, or Foreflight to get your ATIS/METAR to choose your approach...And do make sure to familiarize yourself with the departure procedures out of Terrace (especially if departing north) because of all the high terrain in the area.
The route takes you out of the Kitimat Valley via the Kitimat beacon ZKI, then west over the rugged coastal mountains to open water and across to Sandspit on Haida Gwaii. Make sure you bring a floatation device if you have an engine failure.
Place the .pln files into your "localstate" folder (just a few back from community) then you can load the flight in from the bottom of the main map window in the sim.
Scenery for these airports is available on my webpage: genaiss.com/other-interests
Enjoy!
Doug, I'm really liking your flight plans in the area where I live and sim. Keep up the great work.
