FS2004 – Coral Harbour

FS2004 – Coral Harbour (CYZS) in Nunavut, Canada. Coral Harbor is on Southampton Island, which partly blocks the northern end of Hudson Bay. The village is somewhat smaller and has a population of just under 800 people; the name is down to petrified coral found offshore. It is 200 miles from Cape Dorset, Ivujivik, and Repulse Bay, and 230 miles from Chesterfield Inlet to the southwest. The airfield is inland from the village and the 5000 feet of gravel runway is aligned 155T/335T where T stands for “true” as opposed to magnetic in the Northern Domestic Airspace. JETA-1 fuel is officially available, and in practice so is 100LL, though the latter will be in drums. The visiting AI airlines are First Air and Calm Air. By Roger Wensley.
