File Description:
Qikiqtarjuaq is an airfield on the northeast coast of Baffin Island, just over 100 miles north of Pangnirtung. The airfield is the closest Canadian airfield to Greenland and is used for ferry flights from Canada to Europe for small planes, though there is normally only JetA1 fuel available. The airfield is at only 18 feet ASL next to the sea with the village to the north; it was previously (before 1998) called Broughton Island. The runway is 3,800' of 100' wide gravel and is lighted; as it is in the Northern Domestic Airspace the runway is signed as 033T-213T, using "true" bearings instead of magnetic. There is a terminal and a small maintenance building on the apron and these have been modeled specifically for this scenery. There are AI parking spots; the AI visiting aircraft are a Canadian North Dash 8 and a First Air 42-300. Qikiqtarjuaq village is just north of the airfield and has a population of around 520; it is approximately the right size and shape but no buildings were specifically modeled for the village. There is also a North Warning System site called Fox-5 to the northeast, and this too is included. You will need Ultimate Terrain Alaska Canada.
