For those It's Your Plane members using FSX, we're about to embark upon the seventh leg in our tour around the world, as we leave Fort Saint John, British Columbia, for Haines, Alaska.
We spent a very pleasant evening at the Quality Northern Grand Hotel in Fort Saint John.
The weather this morning isn't much better than it was when we landed last evening. There's still a lot of low-lying fog, so it's a good job we'll be flying I F R. We have prevailing winds from the east, so we'll be taking off from runway 11. Our flying time to Haines will be about 3 hours and forty-five minutes at a planned altitude of 14,000 feet.
Getting off of the ground will be very difficult. You'll need to keep to the right of the runway to counteract the strong 35 knot side winds. But, you're an expert pilot and I have no worries... well, almost no worries!
Your First Officer,
Michelle
I hope you enjoy this leg of our Tour Around the World.
