Finding Hank's Trading Post and the Alaska Trophy Tours Destinations

The author of the Hank's and ATT scenery packages has used an ADF assignment as a mechanism of showing the added bush destinations on the Flight Simulator GPS. While it is not possible to use the Go To function of the GPS to couple an autopilot, the display provides an easy means to navigate VFR to each location.

Hank's Trading Post is a single location (marked R911 on the GPS) located very near Juneau. The Alaska Trophy Tours destinations are farther southeast. Alaska Trophy Tours (ATT) has a main base (ATT1), and nine other locations labeled in alpha characters as ATTA - ATTI. Of these nine, ATTE (Bear Camp) is a larger location with some provisions for tourists and a Ranger Station.

The Flight Simulator Map illustrations below depict the locations of these destinations.
