Fuel @ Newcastle

Postby Rudix » Tue Oct 05, 2010 5:18 pm

Hi Everyone!

Doing some flight planning, I know there is fuel (avgas) available at Newcastle, my question is how early on a Sunday morning would I be able to get fuel? I know there is a call out fee, does that imply that I can call at lets say 7am and expect to be helped?

Thanks for the info!
Fly safe, Rudi

Nie so 'n goeie plan nie vhpy

Kyk maar net na die opsies, sou mogas kry by Ladysmith maar die ou wat dit altyd daar verskaf het doen dit nie meer nie. Anders maak ek maar vol by PMB voor ek die pad terug vat. Ek weet net nie wat die verbruik is op die nuwe baba nie so is maar net versigtig.....

I guess 400 to 500 meters at least.....seen a few fixed wings landing there
That should be long enough! Will keep it as an option, maybe just to add it to the "have landed there" list vhpy
