Re: I hate Cato Ridge Microlighters!

On a serious note, are the guys still flying out of Cato ridge or has the airfield been permanently closed....(the main airfield at the top just before going into the valley).

A magentic compass is required to be fitted.....this uses a flux detector to align itself..............If you use an electronic compass, it must then have a flux detec...

Re: Buffelsfontein

Hi. Just to let everyone know that I have both reports....thanks. Please everyone, should you have a mis-hap, no matter how trivial it is, let CAA know.......dont let us find out from a third party as by the time it gets to the powers of what, the whole incident has been bent out of proportion. I th...

Re: Buffelsfontein

Lying upside down is hardly called bushwacking.........I would say that that is an accident, that requires an accident report form to be sent to CAA.

After an informal discussion on the topic, it was decided that I approach the relevant people to apply for an exemption for WEIGHT - SHIFT microlights to be exempt from carrying a compass. Once I have approached ...

Re: CAA Inspector responsible for R1 million in damages and cost

Someone told him it was full of trikes....... ##
