Talk about getting their paperwork wrong

So, seems like jabi430 can continue organizing a FASH breakfast run for valentines day, so that us "woozies" can land on a "proper" runway again.

Does anybody knows what they are actually exercising for the world cup during these practice runs?? And maybe who is gaining from doing the exercises??

hey wargames ... are you not too scared to fly - in to FASH .... i know u r scared of fly - ins

Yes, but I get past the fear by calling it breakfast runs from now on.

Hmm, was just double checking the Notams and found this:

3.5 All flights operating within the lateral boundaries of Temporary Restricted Airspace Cape Town from GND to FL460, inclusive of all promulgated airspace, must be transponder equipped.

So was going through the trouble of getting an SSC in vain?

Cheers,
