"This list has been compiled from turnpoint sets of past competitions and other often-used TPs for record/badge flights. This is your list, so if you see any errors or want to add new TPs, give me a call. As yet, there are no TPs listed from the Cold Lake or Grande Prairie club areas.

Many elevator TPs have vanished. Please advise of any changes you become aware of. Turnpoint locations have been validated using 1:50,000 charts(errors are of the order of a few tenths of a minute) or GPS. If you have a GPS and can stop at any of the listed TPs, please get a good readout on the location. Elevation is correct to about +/- 20 feet. Thanks." Tony Burton
