Hey guys! I was informed today that I will be flying a Piper Aztec up to ANC. Im looking at going Bellingham WA- Ketchikan AK- Juneau AK- Yakutat AK- ANC. I would be lying if I said that im not somewhat intimidated by flying up in Alaska and wanted to see if any of you guys had any tips or advise about what to expect. Thanks in advance guys!

If southeast looks like poo, go up the interior of Canada. This time of year it's mostly severe clear. Picto I assume?
When you get here let some of us know.
Whitehorse usually makes a great "legal" alternate for most of the airports if everything is low. Customs would be less than amused should you actually use it though.

That and a fishing pole will be in my airplane

Problem with Canadia and Picto is you're not supposed to do that iirc.
Ketchikan and Yakutat both have an ILS if you're not comfortable with interesting non-precision approaches. Sitka has a better LDA than Juneau. If you can though, do go up southeast. It is beautiful.
Which vendor? AA?

Huh... wonder if I know you. It's been a few years though, but I still keep in contact with PC and JD a little bit. (FB mostly) Anyways, say hi when you get up here.
I just stated here this last season. PC is still here and it sounds like JD is calling it quits on the 15th of this month.

Does 50V even get off the ground anymore?

And I'm sure 40H still flies sideways only.

No. That's crazy.
