LANDING CONTEST FRIDAY MAR. 14TH.:

This week it's just two airports again but with more difficult approaches. This week we'll fly the B200 (KingAir) from Ketchikan to Stweart in British Columbia. CZST Stewart, is located at the upper arm of the Portland Canal and is nestled between two mountain ranges. You'll drop out of FL115 for a near sea level landing! The route is frequently shrouded in clouds so FL11500 is suggested when flying Eastward and FL10500 upon return to Ketchikan. You up for it?!?!? Great! If you Don't qualify for the KingAir then get going and put in some more hours and get that rating! Each week will have a different aircraft chosen out of our fleet.
SO, HERE WE GO;

KETCHICAN INTL. AIRPORT TO STEWART AIRPORT FLT. NUMBER: EW6080 / PAKT - CZST / B-200 / PAYLOAD 170 LBS. / FUEL = 20% 68NM DIRECT

STEWART AIRPORT TO KETCHIKAN INTL. AIRPORT FLT. NUMBER: EW7001 / CZST - PAKT / B-200 / PAYLOAD 170 LBS. / FUEL = 20% 68NM DIRECT

Fly the routes as many times as you like and be sure to do it within the 24 hrs. time period of Friday Mar. 14th. The routes will be open if you want to pre-fly them and practice up your approaches and landings.

Hope to see some "greased" landings and lot's of participation!! GOOD LUCK!!

BE SURE TO CHECK THAT YOU ARE FLYING THE CORRECT FLIGHT NUMBER AND TO HELP US TRACK YOUR RESULTS, PLEASE STATE "LANDING CONTEST" IN THE PIREP COMMENT BOX..THANKS!!!

Well, another weeks gone by and there's a pattern beginning to surface....and that would be that ERR227, Brian Ritz, is pretty good at putting his aeroplane down with the least amount of tire squeal! Brian had the softest landing at -102 while landing his B200 at Stewart Airport B.C. Most of the time, at least when I've flown that route, the clouds are with you until you cross over the Portland Canal and that gives you very little time to set-up for your approach. Brian had no problem. So another "Greased" landing badge goes to Brian Ritz. Well done!

Next would be a tie between ERR147, Cameron and ERR483, Dave with a landing rate of -153 while also landing at Stewart Airport B.C.

ERR 235, Mike Eldridge, joined us this week and posted a landing of -235 while landing at Ketchikan. Thanks for participating Mike.

So there you have it for Mar.14th. contest.

Next weeks contest will be a little different....stay tuned for details to be posted at the start of next week. We may have a whole lot more entrants in the Mar. 21st. contest.

See Ya!

Great Job Brian Ritz! Keep up the great landings!
