    ENOE - Troll Station - Image 1

    Description

    Troll Airfield (IATA: QAT, ICAO: ENOE) is an airstrip located 6.8 kilometres (4.2 mi) from the research station Troll in Princess Martha Coast in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. Owned and operated by the Norwegian Polar Institute, it consists of a 3,300-by-100-metre (10,830 by 330 ft) runway on glacial blue ice on the Antarctic ice sheet. The airport is located at 1,232 metres (4,042 ft) above mean sea level and is 235 kilometres (146 mi) from the coast.

    The airfield opened in 2005 and serves as the centre of the Dronning Maud Land Air Network (DROMLAN), a multinational cooperation to use Troll as an all-year hub to provide intercontinental traffic to Antarctica and onwards to the various research stations using aircraft suitable for inter-Antarctic operations. Intercontinental flights normally operate from Cape Town International Airport using Ilyushin 76, C-130 Hercules, P-3 Orion, Boeing 767 and similar, long-range aircraft. Feeding services to other research station is normally done either with Basler BT-67 aircraft, De Havilland DHC-6/300 Twin Otter aircraft and Dornier Do-228 aircraft and helicopters.

    Facilities

    Troll Airfield is located 6.8 kilometres (4.2 mi) from Troll in Princess Martha Coast in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It is owned and operated by the Norwegian Polar Institute and consists of a 3,300-by-100-metre (10,830 by 330 ft) runway on glacial blue ice. This allows it to be used by any aircraft serving the Antarctic. There is no Instrument landing System - ILS, instead visual flight rules - VFR apply. There are no buildings or structures at the runway, although some services are provided from the research station. Ground handling, including supply of Jet A-1 fuel, is provided by the crew at Troll. The crew also supply services such as a fire and rescue service, communications and overnighting at Troll for personnel who would be stuck because of bad weather. The airfield must follow the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty. This includes storing all fuel in barrels and large tanks placed on special mats which absorb liquids, to avoid spills. There is also equipment and plans to handle spills, should they occur. All waste is transported out of the Antarctic.

    The airfield has a cold and dry climate, being located in a desert. The annual mean temperature is −25 °C (−13 °F), with the summer temperature able to reach about 0 °C (32 °F) and the lowest during the winter at −50 °C (−58 °F). Storms, which can occur throughout the year, can occasionally make outdoor activity impossible. Because it is located south of the Antarctic Circle, Troll has midnight sun in the summer and polar night during the winter.

    Service
    Dronning Maud Land Air Network Project (DROMLAN) is a coordinated project between eleven countries with bases in Queen Maud Land (Norwegian: Dronning Maud Land) to create a coordinated logistics service to reduce costs. The participating countries are Belgium, Finland, Germany, India, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Russia, South Africa, Sweden and United Kingdom. The services are operated using Russian Ilyushin 76, Norwegian and Swedish C-130 Hercules and Norwegian P-3 Orion aircraft, also occasionally visited by other types of aircraft. The flights operate from Cape Town International Airport, with a flight time of up to nine hours for a Hercules aircraft, and five and a half hours for an Il-76.

    Feeder services to other research stations are operated by two Basler BT-67 (type converted DC-3/C-47), operated by the South African company Antarctic Logistics Centre International or other operators. Services are operated to Aboa (Finnish), Dome F (Japanese), Halley (British), Kohnen (German), Maitri (Indian), Neumayer (German), Novolazarevskaya (Russian), Princess Elisabeth (Belgian), SANAE IV (South African), Showa (Japanese), Tor (Norwegian) and Wasa (Swedish).[10] In the 2007–08 season, 720 people were transported to Antarctica via DROMLAN. The airport is not open for commercial or other private flights.

    Boeing 737 Landed In Antarctica
    On the 28th November, for the very first time, a Boeing 737 landed in Antarctica, on a runway of blue glacial ice. The flight was operated by PrivatAir, a leader in business aviation and private scheduled services, and was commissioned by Aircontact, on behalf of the Norwegian Polar Institute (NPI). Departing from Cape Town, this was a non-stop journey lasting just under six hours.

    Icelandair flies to Antarctica: Putting the ice back in Icelandair

    In February 2021, we took an incredible trip south, way south, to pick up Norwegian scientists at their Antarctic outpost and return them home for the northern hemisphere summer. In November 2021, we had the mission of delivering them back to Troll research station (via Cape Town) to begin a new southern summer on the ice. It's always a joy to work on projects such as these. 

    787 makes history landing in Antarctica

    A Norse Atlantic Boeing 787 Dreamliner has made history by becoming the first example of the type to land in Antarctica. The project was arranged by the Norwegian Polar Institute in partnership with Norse Atlantic Airways (N0/NBT). The Institute operates continuous monitoring programs in the Arctic and Antarctic to understand environmental changes and their consequences. Such programs require regular resupply – enter the 787.

    How should I develop my Simbrief plan?

    about 1 year ago

    Use a aircraft with fuel capacity (wide body) to fly back again in case of a failure, weather condition etc, dont put to much passangers and cargo. It is possible, I already tried with inibuilds a310 or A300.

    How can i generate a flightplan with simbrief ? ENOE is unknown?

    hello I saw that simbrief does not also do the route I do them manually S61E012 S62E011 S64E010 it takes you directly to Troll Airfield from Cape Town International Airport

    I found this chart
    https://www.pansops.no/resources/downloads/charting_troll_RNAV_RWY27.png

    With this chart you can input your own waypoins in the MCDU based on ENOE, a bearing and a distance.

    For me the "airport" is below surface level, like in a valley 20 ft below rest of the surroundings.

    if I remember correctly, I experienced that the terrain glitched in a very strange spike right up on the runway when I was testing. But I try to learn more of SDK for now and working on a update for custom 3D models to ENKL 😊
