Canadian Xpress® April 2012 Challenge: Mining Operations

[CXA001]

The Sun has risen in the north, and the warm weather is melting the ice and snow in Northern Canada. This warm weather has also melted the ice roads leading to the mines of Northern Canada. This means no more trucks and until next November, so until then, everything has to come and go by air.

This month we are packing up the Canadian Xpress® Boeing 737-200F which is available to all pilots regardless of rank, but only for this challenge and heading north out of Edmonton (CYEG) for the gold mine at Lupin (CYWO). Once fully unloaded, you’ll jump over to Yellowknife (CYZF).

There are no fuel facilities at Lupin, so you will need to plan your fuel wisely. You need to fly with as much cargo as you can carry from Edmonton to Lupin landing in Lupin with a 45 minute fuel reserve but also have enough fuel to fly empty to Yellowknife and land there with 45 minutes of fuel reserve.

Join Canadian Xpress® today in order to participate as there are some great prizes to be won.
