Benics Fly-in Aug 9th
Re: Benics Fly-in Aug 9th
JFK you could always drive in
Landed at Boris's strip a couple of times (just for practice) on Sunday morning. I didn't find it THAT challenging, but then you guys at Middelburg are spoiled with your enormous loooooong wiiiiide runways
Just remember the actual landing place is not the wide green strip on the left, its the narrow one next to it! It slopes quite a bit uphill and there's no opportunity to do a go around (although its been done) because of the telephone lines at the top of the hill.
See ya all there!!!

Always a good idea to broadcast on the Witbank Frequency 123.50 passing to the north or south depending on routing. Benics 124.80Nkwazi wrote:Should be about 4 or 5 trikes from petit. Do we need to call Witbank or just vfr traffic??

Re: Benics Fly-in Aug 9th
I would stay on 123.5 for Benics, its very close to Witbank airfield - almost in the circuit. Witbank's unmanned so normal unmanned procedures apply. From about 09:00 there's the possibility of paradrops over Witbank, shouldn't interfere with micros at Benics, but please avoid crossing FAWI overhead (unless you want a new cowling ornament or in-flight passenger).
Looking forward to seeing you all there (even though I'm driving in )

I'm missing it again...
I've decided to paint my baby, so I'm out of action for the next 5 weeks.....
It will hopefully be up and running before the Africa Cup
