Fly Microlight in the North West Province??
Posted: Sat Apr 05, 2014 10:34 am
Good day,
Im new to this forum and don't own a Microlight yet... I use to do nature conservation work in the Kruger Park and made use of a Aquila Microlight (trike) for game counting and observation. I remember the pilot always said that we can't fly in the wind so we had to fly very early in the morning. We had a few flights were the wind did pick up and was pretty unpleasant!
Now my question is, i now farm in the north west province and would like to get my own microlight but the wind is always pumping here!! i remember the pilot also said that a bantam is better for windy places but i prefer a trike! Will it be possible to actually fly in this area (Potchefstroom) or should i write it on my "pens"
Thanks
