yeah
I thought so. But it may "qualify" to appear on the nav display if the sole restriction is length. I'd guess you'd have to be pretty Resolute to go there. Like a hill I climbed in Sitka called Bear Mountain. It had bears. Boeing did do a polar route article in their aero puff mag and CYRB was definitely not on the list of places for a divert! I think Shemya, Cold Bay and King Salmon were "approved" but I'd like to sit down and talk with the approver.
PS I wondered if there was a distant navaid. At N74 44.8 W094 59.7 there was an NDB, formerly a tall mast structure. At N74 43.6 W094 55.3 there is a VOR c/s YBR but neither of these is "distant" from the airstrip. Both show up on google maps with positional errors easily accounted for by the single decimal accuracy in minutes. The NDB may be there still but I have a notion it blew over or some such mishap.
