Volator Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Hi, does anybody have (older) non-RNAV IFR charts available for the Norwegian airbases? I have Navigraph, but it only offers modern (RNAV) approaches/SIDs/STARs and particularly no TACAN approaches that I'd be most interested in. "Simplates" seems to offer TACAN approach plates, but I'd like to avoid paying for a second product that probably has 99% similarity with Navigraph. I'd be interested in TACAN approach charts and non-RNAV SIDs/STARs for Bodo, Bardufoss and Andoya. 1 1./JG71 "Richthofen" - Seven Eleven

Hi , check out this page, at least for Bodo, they have old ground navaid based approach charts , though not the complete set. https://www.mil-airfields.de/approach-charts/no-norway/aerodromes.html edit: Did you already check the official norway AIP? ( its publicly available for free ) Because I just had a cursory look through the page for Bardufoss and they still publish some NON-RNAV STARS and SIDS . Just look at the ones without the "RNAV" prefix in the list. https://ais.avinor.no/no/AIP/View/136/2025-01-23-AIRAC/html/index-en-GB.html?target=https%3A//ais.avinor.no/no/AIP/View/136/2025-01-23-AIRAC/html/eAIP/EN-AD-2.ENDU-en-GB.html%23AD-2.ENDU&menuState=https%3A//ais.avinor.no/no/AIP/View/136/2025-01-23-AIRAC/html/eAIP/EN-menu-en-GB.html?,GEN,ENR,AD,AD-2,AD-2.ENDU edit 2: Andoya as well has still ground based STARS: https://ais.avinor.no/no/AIP/View/136/2025-01-23-AIRAC/html/index-en-GB.html?target=https%3A//ais.avinor.no/no/AIP/View/136/2025-01-23-AIRAC/html/eAIP/EN-AD-2.ENDU-en-GB.html%23AD-2.ENDU&menuState=https%3A//ais.avinor.no/no/AIP/View/136/2025-01-23-AIRAC/html/eAIP/EN-menu-en-GB.html?,GEN,ENR,AD,AD-2,AD-2.ENDU They also publish ground based instrument approaches, though only the civilian ones, ILS/LOC/VOR , unfortunately the military TACAN are in the separate MIL AIP. Good luck ! Edited January 28 by Snappy 1 2
ThePops Posted January 29 Posted January 29 Indeed. There are several VOR approaches in the AIP, also for Bodø, Bardufoss and Andøya. These are all pretty standard, race track and/or procedure turn. I can't imagine they are nothing but identical to TACAN approaches except slightly offset numbers. A bigger problem is the mess on the Kola map (or perhaps DCS itself?) when it comes to VOR and in particular DME. Older procedures will typically rely on NDBs and markers. These are almost all gone now, also on the Kola map, so this won't help much. 2
graveyard4DCS Posted February 12 Posted February 12 You can check https://milais.org/ for airfields in Norway (FLIP Vol. 1) There are also plenty of charts on the Internet archives for older charts. 1 1 Afghanistan - The Graveyard of Empires - A Project for DCS World Patreon - Discord
