Flying a small general aviation aircraft to Alaska, especially a single-engine one, is not something to be taken lightly. Alaska is huge and suffers no fools. The terrain is hostile and unforgiving, and a foolhardy approach to this trip can lead to certain death. To safely accomplish this trip and enjoy all the beautiful scenery Alaska has to offer, takes preparation and the right attitude. Done correctly, you will experience views that are awe-inspiring and look at marvels of nature that can only be imagined from the ground or cruise ships. We have taken thousands of pictures aod have yet to see a camera do it justice. You must see it for yomself.
In this book we have provided a guideline for you to safely enjoy the ultimate flying adventure. It includes suggested routes, which you can copy into Foreflight or other aviation apps, tips on flying through the valleys and glaciers, as well as recommendations on lodging, survival gear, paperwork, and customs requirements. There are even pictures of the routes, the view out the cockpit at required route changes, and maps detailing reporting points required by ATC. We even discuss things such as passenger consideration, as not every family member will desire to make this trip. Yet, we assure you that it is a trip that is best shared, and ,vith proper preparation, it can be done., Alaska, Canada, Glaciers, The Alaska Highway, group travel, The Trench, Vic and Carol Syracuse| | 85PAGES
