Rhino Park Information

Postby Tribal Croc » Mon Oct 18, 2010 11:18 am

Hi Guys

I need some information on Rhino Park

I am flying there (hopefully tomorrow )to get my trike serviced and just want to know if there are any special joining procedures or dangers that I must be aware of.

Thanks

Hi Tribal Croc,
join from the south.There is a tarred radio control strip to the north so stay away.Use runway 09/27.CAUTION be sure you use the correct runway.the main runway is under construction.I believe someone managed to land on the runway under construction.also beware of the powerlines and the pond on approach runway 27.there are also power lines and a ditch for stormwater(temperarily) on the approach for 09.be extra carefull for turbulance behind the eucaluptus trees.we have two windsocks in close proximity and they never read the same.try and conform to traffic or use your own discresion if no traffic.09 right hand circuit and 27 left hand circuit.Do not use the intersection turn off.Enjoy your flight.Andre and his new assistant Ian will give you the best service.

If using R/W 27, anticipate a little sink over the pond just shy of the threshold.

Hi Oom!

Where do you fly from? :twisted: That is not the Rhino Park I know vhpy

Tribal Croc, welcome to Rhino (^^)

The runway under construction (09/27) is the runway to the north of the field. The current active runway (12/30) is the runway towards the south. I know some people call it 09/27 but that is NOT the magnetic heading and calling it 09/27 is downright dangerous, I am aware of more than one case where it caused a dangerous situation including one in the last week...... All circuits to the south (30L and 12R)

There are no power lines within at least 1700m of the threshold of 12 and miles away from 30. The approach to 30 is no longer over the pond but still expect sink.....

Exit the runway towards the north at the threshold of 30, be careful when you cross the runway under construction (09/27), taxi around the hangars that are towards the east to Andre's workshop in the large hangar next to the taxi way after turning behind the first row of hangars..

Now that you know where it is you must visit on a Saturday (^^)

Fly safe,
Rudi

My trike gaan so 2 weke vat so miskien as ek hom kom haal kan ons iets maak.
