Hi,
You can land there for a cup of coffee, no problem. Let me know when you planning on flying out, I can meet up with you in the area and "escort" you in!
Field elevation: 5100ft
Radio: 125.25
Co-Ords: S25 54 11.40 E028 04 55.20
Runways:18/36, 600x18 m, grass uphill rwy 18
12/30, 350x18m, grass, houses adjacent E of rwy (use of runway to be limited, due to no fly zone)
No fly zone to the east of airfield.
Join overhead at 6000ft, call 3 - 5 nm out. To determine active runway. (right hand circuit for 17, left hand circuit for 36).
Hope that helps!

BTW, speak to McFly. He also fly's from Petit (ZU-BKP, I think). He trained at Aero57 as well.

Cheers Tracer.
Thanks for the info, my thinking is to come next Saturday, weather permitting of course.
If you wouldn't mind, PM me your cell number please, so than I can call when we leave and you can escort us in.
Hopefully see you then.
