This is according to the CATS. Possibly other rules for NTCA. 43.02.18 AIRCRAFT COMPASS REQUIREMENTS 1. Compass swing requirements (1) All compasses fitted to South African registered aircraft must be swung as follows: (a) On installation. (b) At 12 monthly intervals thereafter: Provided that where ...

Where will you get a landing compass to do the swing? Commercial pilots could do a compass swing. Used to be like that,this could have changed however. Be aware, that most of the compasses that weight shift microlights are fitted with cannot be swung. So all you really can do, is to check the headin...

Jay, how did you guys cut it?? Helicopter or manpower?? It is very difficult to fly a helicopter inverted. So if you want to cut the landing strip with a helicopter, you must have very smooth flying conditions. It also helps to initially clear the bigger rocks with manpower, because otherwise the r...

Pieta, gee jy altyd sulke kak raad?? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: BUSHBABY George!! Boet, ek weet dit is baie frustreerend. Maar eendag sal jy dit ook besef. Baie ouens sukkel om die maklike dinge in die lewe te verstaan, en die goeie dinge in die lewe te waardeer. Jy kan n perd na die water lei, ...

Thank you for clearing this up.

The more I read, the more flaws I get.......please give me a couple of days to sort out wording and laws...Dont all run out and buy Halon extinguishers..(I am in Part 135, so now am having to do some seeeeeerious reading). All I can say is as far as extinguishers and 1st Aid kits go, use common sen...

This is all good and well (!!) but Halon and or powder , will it really make a differance??( and what size: 1kg., 1.5 kg, 5kg) depends on what is burning!!! And remember, aluminium, once it is burning, cannot be put out with class A, B, C, D Extinguishers! If a fire break out while staring the trik...

Ek is die ander Andre. Weet nie hoe dit gebeur het nie maar ek het klaar my logon en user naam verander. Ek is nou Airborne Edge ##. So Ozzy Andre jy kan net bly soos jy is. Sal jou 'n bier koop as jy weer hier is. Hoe is dit in Oz. Ek moes ook soontoe gegaan het maar het op die laaste oomblik van ...

The pax bought a raffle ticket. So in a way he paid for the flight, even though the pilot/owner of the microlight does not get paid. Might be a legal problem.

Nkwazi forgot to mention the night spot landing competition on the R50. You are quite safe from the CAA. As it is dark, nobody will be able to see your reg.

Fire exting...CAT's 91.04.21 (2) (1) (2). An operator or owner may not operate an aircraft unless hand fire extings are provided for use in flight crew...... The type and quantity of extinguishing agent must be suitable for the kinds of fire likely to occurin the compartment where the extiguisher i...

He is a good man.

His retirement is a loss to SAA.

Huh, microlights unwelcome at FAKR?

Definately won't support those FAKR's

Congratulations to a very nice project.
I envy Boet for his ability in building aeries, and George for owning it.

Why do we need the Gripens in any case?
