Microlighters

Did you know that PETIT airfield ''that is almost next to Microland and on route to a lot of other airfield'' has change their Feq to 133.20.. well aparently for a year allreay.Be aware .. The Microlight airfeild Booklet and others still has it as 125.4 and that 133.20 is a general informal freq.

I had a close call between myself (cobra and fix wing on 12 Des 07) I planned the route and even done some book worming on the Petit airfeild but to no avail '' Sorry to who ever was in the fix wing as I only realized it was my mistake after landing back at Nigel.

Advice : allways phone ahead if traveling to unknown airfeilds and do NOT trust publiched booklets that might be out dated.

Thanks for a great SITE Alwyn (Nigel) CBP

Same Petit entrance.

Can't they mark out the frequency with white stones next to the windsock?

It is marked with stones!

Yes it is - Sometimes the last number has a few stones missing, and you struggle to make out that it is in fact a 0 (133.20) - the reason being that these missing stones were thrown at the okes who did not broadcast on the right frequency before landing

If you see a big bald guy with a white stone in his hand......RUN

D

As fast as your legs can carry you!!

I was flying that day and it was the big bald guy in the fixed wing. I dont think he has any bad feelings though.

On the latest Avimap freq chart it is 133.20
