Description
Wittmund Air Base (ICAO code: ETNT) is a German military airfield between Wittmund and Aurich near Webershausen. It is the headquarters of Tactical Air Force Wing 71 "Richthofen", which is equipped with Eurofighter Typhoon multi-role combat aircraft. In addition, there are civilian-registered Douglas A-4 Skyhawks and Alpha Jets from an external service provider for air combat training, BAE Systems until 2014 and from 2015 for five years the company Top Aces inc. (formerly: Discovery Air Defence Services).
Currently the Airport is totally reconstructed to become the most modern German airbase in 2030.
As part of the construction work, the runway and the heat supply are to be renovated and the aircraft shelters modernized. Existing aprons are removed and replaced by new ones. A modern 10 pack aircraft hangar will be built within the eastern shelter loop. Many buildings will be torn down and replaced. All sewage, drinking water and firefighting water systems are also to be renewed. In addition, a new tower, a noise protection hall and a new fire station are to be built. A large part of the construction work (e.g. new aprons for transport aircraft, new shelter aprons, new taxi ways, new QRA hangars, ect.) has been completed by 2025.
The remaining work (e.g. new fire station, the 10 pack hangar, the relocation of the tower, etc.) is ongoing an will be completed by 2030.
This MSFS add-on implements the status of the airbase after completion of all reconstruction measures ongoing (based on the current knowledge).
Airport Properties:
NAV Aids:
- ILS 25, 109.95 MHz, INTW 3.0 deg
- TACAN: WTM, 82X
MagVar: 3 deg
The main information basis for this add-on is a public domain overview chart, depicting all airport modifications planned, and aerial images taken from the ongoing construction work.
As there is only little reliable information on the evolution this airbase, everyone who has better knowledge, is strongly invited to share it with me.
