Canadian Xpress March 2014 Challenge – Diamonds Are Forever

Published March 2, 2014 | By editor

The Canadian North produces some of the finest diamonds in the world. Working underground and in the Canadian North can be very problematic for personal and equipment. The diamond mines of the North are only accessible by ice road during the winter months. During this short 10 week period, hundreds of trucks pull thousands of tons of equipment out to these remote locations. However it’s still a year round operation, so in the months when there is no ice road, the only way to get in to these mines is by air. The ice roads are gone but there is still a lot of small equipment that needs to be moved.

This month, your job is to load up the DeHavilland Dash 7-Q101F or the Hawker Siddeley HS.748 which are available to all pilots regardless of rank but only for the challenge in Yellowknife (CYZF) and fly a short hop over to Ekati (CYOA) and then fly the return leg back to Yellowknife (CYZF).
