Crane Hazard - BRAKPAN SRE

Postby **John Boucher** » Thu Jul 04, 2013 8:36 pm

Hi everybody... just got off the phone with Heksie (Santjie White ATNS)

This crane is erected at Redruth Transport, Plot 81 Koot Street, Withok Estates, Brakpan.

It has no lights and is situated in the Johannesburg Special rules East area/Buffer Zone/CTR boundry.

I have informed as many operators as possible but we need to spread the word. It has been reported to the CAA.

EXERCISE CAUTION PLEASE!!!!

i flew right past this hunk of rubbish today, and was VERY surprised at how high it is!!! It is situated near Pauls plot, and Ergo slimes dam, i was flying at 6000ft, and saw it at the last minute, if i were at 5700ft i would have hit it!

someone needs to contact the companies MD and blast him!!

I have told a few guys that fly from FASI who don't know about this, and we will fly around this ting to inspect for a light of some sort.

Shot, Santjie said she would check for a light for the "heli-ops" otherwise it's plain VFR - keep an even better lookout 'cause the bastard doesn't have a radio to report his position
