1.3.1 POI12-Krstof Sound

After takeoff, climb straight in the air following the northern coast of Sitka Sound, keeping the forested edge of Baranof Island on your right. After 5 nautical miles, Kruzof Sound emerges as a wide channel between the fir-covered coast of Kruzof Island on your left and the rugged cliffs of Baranof on your right.

1.3.2 POI13-Sukoi Inlet
From Kruzof Sound, adjust to a heading of 320, climbing to 4,000 feet. Follow Kruzof Island’s eastern shoreline northwest. Sukoi Inlet opens as a narrow fjord cutting into Kruzof’s northern coast, its steep, spruce-lined walls a clear marker.

1.3.3 POI14-Slocum Arm

Fly along Sukoi Inlet. Slocum Arm will appear as a deep inlet that creeps into the southern edge of Chichagof Island, with its narrow channel lined by steep wooded slopes.

From Slocum Arm, head north, climbing to 3,000 feet. Follow Chichagof Island’s southern shore westward. After 12 nautical miles, the Chichagof Yakobi Wilderness unfolds ahead, a vast expanse of rugged coastline and peaks rising to 3,800 feet along Yakobi Island’s eastern edge.

1.3.5 POI16-Pelican

Leaving Chichagof Yakobi Wilderness, follow Yakobi Island’s southern coast westward, keeping the open waters on your left and the island’s spruce-covered shore on your right. After 12 nautical miles, Pelican’s tiny village appears along Chichagof Island’s northwestern shore, its docks and wooden homes a faint cluster against the wilderness.

1.3.6 POI17-Lemesurier Island

At Pelican, adjust to a heading of 355 and follow Chichagof Island’s northern shore westward. After 10 nautical miles, cross Icy Strait, and Lemesurier Island emerges as a low, spruce clad mound ahead.

1.3.7 POI18-Pleasant Island

Leaving Lemesurier Island, turn to a heading of 055 and follow Icy Strait northeast, keeping the strait’s waters below and Chichagof Island’s northern shore on your right.
