Re: Trench route: No fuel at Mackenzie

I'll see what I can do. I'll be home Monday and try to scan it. If I have time Monday I'll make some copies. I don't remember where I picked that up... I searched the Nav Canada website and don't see it available now.

Re: Trench route: No fuel at Mackenzie

I agree. I have tried to find it on Nav Canada, No luck. It was cool flying it. As I said, one strip had a 15 degree incline and was one way in and one way out.[

There's nothing special about an image embedded in a PDF. The size and printed quality will be the same unless it's been traced to a vector format, and even then you're only as good as the data you start with.

Would be nice to find a better copy of the original map.

The map is 8.5x14 so be prepared with legal size paper if you want to print it.

Re: Trench route: No fuel at Mackenzie

I updated the Trench route to include at least 5 airstrips not shown in the (above referenced) Trench pamphlet or on other links that I've seen. I found these strips via searching satellite images and laboriously scanning topo maps.

If you want to review a custom topo of the route, which I created, here is that link: https://caltopo.com/m/VEUJ

Here is a PDF listing all the strips, with embedded links to satellite images of each airstrip: https://fly2ak.com/Trench/NewTrench/TrenchDataLinks.pdf

Enjoy!
