The weather was VMC on top, so no real need for the Pitot Heat. As for the Sat phone, the number was listed in the flight plan, although there were large stretches with no VF coverage at all, which is pretty typical in that area and also in Northern Canada. Once we start moving south from Frobisher Bay, we fly IFR in uncontrolled airspace for most of that flight. That is a different experience for sure. And, since we switch from Edmonton Center to Montreal Center, that creates a bit of a new wrinkle as well. I hope they show that in the next video, and make sure you brush up on those procedures if you ever plan on flying in that part of the country.
