Route 2
by Ron Jorgensen - MTN1652
This route can be flown with any Amphibian/Float aircraft you wish. It is designed for flight at low altitudes. Varying weather is suggested to change the difficulty of the flights. Splash flights are VFR ONLY! No autopilot either!! If you want to fly high watching an autopilot, this division is not for you.
Departure Point - Carcross Yukon (CFA2) / on airport or in river next to airport
Arrival Point - Atlin BC (CYSQ) / on airport or in river next to airport
Approximate distance = 45NM as crow flies / 70 NM following waterways

Ron's Advice: Depart Carcross SouthEast over the river. Turn left in Scotia Bay towards Taku then jump over the little spit of land to get to Atlin.
JY's Advice: Be careful of your routing. If you are using the low weather settings, you can easily pick the wrong turn and end up in a closed box canyon. In a panic, you can always land on the water and figure out where you are!
