Qikiqtarjuaq is located on Broughton Island off the eastern coast of Baffin Island. It is an Inuit community of around 600 people north of a former Distant Early Warning (DEW) line radar station known as FOX-5 built in 1956-57. It was also known as Site 39. The DEW Line site was closed in 1991 when the North Warning System (NWS) Short Range Radar site became operational.

Very good airport. I enjoyed my trip here with a buddy recently. The strobes were faintly visible through the low cloud layer on approach, which was a huge help. We also both thought the derelict CH-46 was a nice touch :)
However, it might also be a problem in 1.18.x Everything worked fine until we both taxied up next to the helicopter and activated our drone cameras. Then we both immediately CTD'd. We had no other CTDs for the remainder of our multi-hour session and the fact that we both got one simultaneously at this airport seems suspicious. Unless the MSFS servers just burped then. But anyway, you might want to have a look here.

Thank you for the feedback. I taxied down the runway and parked at the helicopter and then went into drone mode. I could not recreate your CTDs but maybe that is because the hotfix number 2 (August 7th 2021) was applied before I went there. Next time you are in Qik, let me know if it again CTDs. Glad you enjoyed it otherwise, and I am planning on more Canadian arctic airstrips, provided a World Update does not beat me to it - even then I will probably replaced them as if they are anything like Kingston Ontario, the scenery does need some help :)
