| takeoff | Very shallow and advanced launch. Do not launch here without speaking to local pilot. Launch has recently been improved (trees and brush removed) making is easier. |
|---|---|
| landing | Land at the grass strip beside the Yukon River. The LZ MUST be approached with lots of height above power lines (City Bylaw). 500ft min over town, set up for final. Caution with power lines on the town side and river on the other side of the only suitable landing zone. This is a locally regulated site and visiting pilots are encouraged to check in with local pilots before flying. Many years of hard work has gone into developing a relationship with the town and local authorities. |
| weather | |
| rules | Power lines at LZ MUST be cleared by at least 500 ft (150 m) as part of city bylaw. Do not break this rule! |
| access | Dawson City Dome road, south launch at the end of the road and north launch is accessed by a short hike down a path beside the lookout gazebo. |
| comments | You can launch here at Midnight for summer solstice which is a bit of a tradition. There is also a film festival in April and an amazing music festival in July. It's worth coming up for any of these events. |
