Maybe this will initiate dialogue to simplify the radio frequencies and flying corridors in such a busy airspace.
Radio calls often difficult with traffic airborne from Swartkops, Lanseria, Grand and via Waterkloof through Pinedene route.

Tumbles... I think there will be dialogue but not with a certain gentleman part of it. Especially with him having some sort of legal action pending with important role players. Flo and the boys have to resolve that...

I feel that this goes totally against the spirit of recreational and grassroots aviation. It doesn't sit right with me. but then I'm just a lowly trike pilot.

Re: Eagle's Creek - AVCOM
Chaps...
To avoid all the drama and feeling unwelcome and all that goes with it - I suggest that microlights - gyros and LSA's just stay the hell away from Eagles Creek. Until they have sorted out their internal matters and without causing any further drama for a process that is in place and should be finalized in a few months time - just stay away!
The tannie that wants to tan naked can do that once again
The extremely noisy microlights and gyros and LSA's can give way to quiet Bonnies, Yaks and Bell 212's
We'll ask MEtro to divert all traffic to that specific highway so that the road noise can increase from 65dB's to something higher....
We'll ask all the truckers to persistently honk their truck horns and hooters on that stretch of road
When that is all done... you will be begged to come back so that things can be normal again
and then we have a MISASA shoot-Out there too!

I've always found the owner very friendly and accommodating so will see when I have to fly in next week for maintenance.
