Hartbeespoort FAD71
Posted: Sun Oct 26, 2014 8:10 am
Hi
I would like to do a scenic flight from Wonderboom to Hartebespoort dam, but don't know the area well enough what to watch out for.
Flying a YAK at 220km/110knts approx.
I know about the Lanseria and General flying areas of Magaliesberg, etc.
I don't forsee that to be of a concern. Normal altitude and radio calls should take care off that.
What concerns me is the paraglider area especially.
FAD71 : HARTEBEESPOORT DANGER AREA
GND - 7600FT AMSL
Also of concern on the northern side of the ridge is Aviators paradise, Kroon airfield, Bundu Inn etc. with all the microlights.
What do you do when flying in those areas? What are the chances of paragliders flying outside of the FAD71?
How high do the paragliders fly?
And Microlighters?
Any specifics I should be aware of not published in the Airfields Directory 5th Edition for these airfields mentioned above?
It doesn't mention much on Kroon.
What is the Kroon Circuit for example?
Is it save to fly between Lanseria airspace and the FAD71 sort of above Xanadu?
Other airfields to watch out for?
Advise will be much appreciated.
