60331 Alaska Flight #1 PANT-PAWG

De kustwildernis van Zuidoost-Alaska

Annette Island to Icy Bay

Leg #1 uit de Alaska Wilderness Series 1

Uw Alaska-odyssee begint op Annette Island Airport (PANT), waar uw NX Cub klaarstaat om de mistige omhelzing van het Tongass National Forest in te duiken. De eerste etappe volgt de ruige kusten van Annette Island naar Ketchikan, dwars door de smaragdgroene kanalen van de Inside Passage, met Tlingit-totempalen en zalmrijke wateren als achtergrond. Vervolgens zet u koers naar het noorden naar Wrangell Airport (PAWG) via de met sparren begroeide vlaktes van Mitkof Island, de Noorse charme van Petersburg en de ongerepte South Etolin Wilderness, waar u landt op landingsbaan 28 te midden van fjorden vol beren.

Follow Annette Island’s western shoreline southward, keeping the water of Nichols Passage on your right and the island’s forested edge on your left.

1.1.2 POI2-Ketchikan

From Annette Island’s village, head northeast on a heading of 320, climbing to 1,500 feet to clear the island’s terrain. Follow the coastline of Revillagigedo northward, keeping Tongass Narrows’ inlet on your right as a winding guide.

Leaving Ketchikan, turn northwest with a heading of 320, rising at 2,000 feet to pass the rugged Revillagigedo Hills, keeping the Tongass Narrows on the left until it fades into Clarence Strait. Follow the western edge of the strait and after 10 nautical miles, Betton Island, a small wooded dot in the strait, appears. 

1.1.4 POI4-South Etolin Wilderness

From Betton Island, head northeast on a course of 315, rising to 2,500 feet to pass the low islands of the strait. Follow the eastern edge of Clarence Strait to the mouth of Zimovia Strait, which opens to the right after 18 nautical miles, then fly over the South Etolin Wilderness, a pristine expanse of forests and peaks rising to 3,900 feet, circling to locate its rugged coastline and staying clear of the higher terrain inland.
