George Inlet

It was named by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey in 1880 after pilot W. E. George, who created the first sketch of Revillagigedo Channel and Tongass Narrows.

[1] George Inlet is a deep indentation of the southwestern coast line of Revillagigedo Island.

The boundary of the granite of the Coast Range is probably 2–3 miles (3.2–4.8 km) to the northeast of the upper end of the inlet.

Near the entrance the two shores of the inlet are formed by granite, which occurs in the phyllites as an intrusive stock.

The National Transportation Safety Board's (NTSB) investigation found that the probable cause of the accident was the inherent limitations of the see-and-avoid concept, which prevented the two pilots from seeing the other airplane before the collision, and the absence of visual and aural alerts from both airplanes’ traffic display systems, while operating in a geographic area with a high concentration of air tour activity.
