This leg is a detour off the original path. A detour purely so that I can have a look at some of the Canadian countryside and to stop in at the Jean Lesage International Airport before crossing the border into the states. I want to get some milage out of the UTX Canada terrain I've purchased. I had originally downloaded CYQB as an alternate to Halifax should I have needed to divert on the previous leg. The airport look so good, that I thought it would be a shame not to visit.
| Airport Scenery Quebec/ Jean Lesage International (CYQB) is a great little gem on the Flightsim.com site. This airport has only had over 2000 free downloads since 2012 which was a surprise for such a nice addon. One of the little touches I liked was the nearby arial mast with flashing beacons. The interior of the airport is well designed with departure halls and display screens. For a free addon, you must get this airport if you are passing by. Well done Gilles Boily!! The Route A short flight with very little to mention along the route. (As a side note:, I'm beginning to wonder if I've even loaded the UTX Canadian scenery? . . can't see any major change from the default FSX scenery?) . My routing was CYHZ/ ARDEE/ YSJ/ MOWN/ HUL/ VLV/ROGSA/CYQB. Approach was from the south of the airport for 06L. The weather has started to clear up and no more angry clouds abouts.. Charts Charts from www.IVAO.ca (CYQB) The Flight The weather has been great. It was a clear approach down into CYQB. AI Traffic I have been downloading a few regional Canadian airlines with the hope of seeing them enroute. Airlines like Porter Air, Sun Wing. Unfortunately when I landed in Quebec none of them where scheduled. I had a TUI charter by CanJet and a few Air Canada Jazz aircraft for company at the gates. |  |
