I was able to provide you the Troll Airfield (ICAO: ENOE) in the ARINC-424 format, which Navigraph uses.
I relied on real world charts and airline documents, in order to provide Navaids with the correct coordinates and frequencies.
Anyways, if you need the charts and the airline document, in order to verify the correctness, I can send you these via PM.
The files are in the attachment, if possbile, may you add that airfield to the database and SimBrief? It has quite a lot of Navaids including RNAV Approaches etc. and is one of the best equipped airfields in Antarctica.
Various airliners like the 737 Max, the A340-300 or the IL-76TD, the A320, A319 and some business jets have already landed there before.
Do you have a sample file or something similiar, which I could use as a reference, in order to get all the required pieces of information we need?
I would really like to try it, but unfortunately the PMDG Navdata format is the only reference I have, as I couldn’t find any specific Navigraph files, which include the format, I’m looking for.
Just that I know what needs to be included and how it should look like.
Is that the correct ARINC-424 format on the picture?
Hi,
Not sure, what format this is but it´s not the ARINC424 format, nor any ARINC424 specification sorry … I´m also not sure, which FAA CIFP records you mean. Here an example of an airport-record:
SUSAP KSWFK6ASWF 0 118YHN41301480W074061740W014000491 1800018000C MNAR NEW YORK STEWART INTL 227441907
This is one line from FAA CIFP file, exactly 132 bytes long. You see on the end of the line the file record no and the cycle date, as in your screenshot.
The ARINC424 format is a standard format and every column contains a specific information. I can´t see any ARINC424 columns in your file sorry, nor do I understand what each column really mean. Sorry.
G’day @KevinAviationHD and @NAVDataOld
I am happy to have a look at any charts that can be emailed to me to see if these can be converted into ARINC 424 format manually. If the data is from official sources that’s great and should make to job easier.
Richard please let me know if this data, once completed, could be added to the dataset? I will do my best to maintain the quality from my previous tailored data work!
Regards, Martin YBLT
I will send you all official references and charts regarding navaids and the airport I have per PM.
Thank you so much for helping me out! You are my rescuer. Finally we get this highly developed antarctic airfield integrated somehow and have all the airports down there we need.
Could you potentially send me your dataset per PM, so I can discover and learn, how to do write the ARINC-424 format correctly? Unfortunately there is almost nothing in the internet, how the exact ARINC-424 format for an airport including navaids looks like.
No, that was referred to @stewamar, that we luckily found him to help me with the Tailored Record, as he is much more experienced and has a deep knowledge.
I gave him all the references he needs via PM, so he shouldn’t have issues to create it.
I’m more than happy that he is there to make the Tailored Record. I myself don’t have the skills to do it and I don’t know anyone else, so luckily we have Martin, who has a lot of experience and has already worked with you before.
