Here with a video clip of my approach and it was something like this

http://youtu.be/UkGf15Fft94

ATC - "FLO please report left base 01"
Me - "FLO now left base 01"
ATC - "FLO cleared to land 01"
Me - "FLO on left base but still 3 miles out"
ATC - "FLO we have you visual, cleared 01"
Me - "FLO now on finals but it will still take a while" ## ## ## ## ##
Awesome stuff Piet!!

I was with ATC and helping to get you guys visual when these calls where being made!!

I agree with Air Hog...lets not hang the guy just yet :twisted: :wink: . He might have his reasons as to why he did not complete his forms for the Fly-Past :!: :!:
He's had his fair share of "uit Kak" from everyone :!: ##

The FIRST thing you do when you err this badly is to get onto Microlighters.co.za within HOURS of the event, humbly apologise and then beg for forgiveness!
