FYI guys


Landing at battlefields is entirely at pilots discretion and own risk.
Frequency 124.8.

RWY 11/29. +-850m usable

Rwy 11 is uphill and preferred - be careful of windsheer as you drop into the "wind shadow" of the rise in the rwy - you can easily lose 10-15kts airspeed in a second or so when the wind is moderate to strong E.

There are Eskom powerlines diagonally crossing the long final for 11 - not a problem for normal approach. but be aware.

If there is a strong N Westerly then 29 is obviously preferred but watch out for quartering crosswind turbulence off the lodge buildings on your right (1-2 o'clock)- a bit of extra speed and lower flap setting can help. - plan to land a little deeper to mitigate - just not too deep if your brakes are dodge. Go arounds have no major obstacle hazards.

Otherwise no funnies other than to be expected in a normal arrival...

Trust this assists.
