Swartkop Fly-inn 2nd October 2010

[mcfly]

I will be meeting again this week, with the powers that be, to include all micro/LSA aircraft. The problem arose with the ATC's concern over the varying approach speeds of the trikes and the fixed wing a/c especially with the large no's that are expected. Safety is a primary concern and we don't need any incidents occurring at a state/military base, but, as someone rightly stated, the approach speeds of most tri-axis a/c is close to the trikes so it might not be the problem that was at first was the concern.I will know by Wednesday and will post again

This sounds good!

You can tell them we have no problem with the different speeds at our flying fields, we are used to it and space ourselves accordingly.

Thanks for you hard work,
Fly safe,
Rudi
PS. If fixed wings are ok please add Savannah ZU-EJS to the list, we can fly the same speed as a trike anyway if needed

Hi All,

Just to confirm that this fly in is definitely on? I am planning around it and my trike is already in JHB, so I am hopping we are thumbs up for the 2nd of October.

My trike is with Larry at Freedom Flight school in Bapsfontein, he is doing the ATF on it for me. I would really like to hook up with some guys from Petit or Microland, that I fly in with them.

Fly Safe...
