Low Flying over Game Farm

[nicow]

Hi guys,

Thanks for all the comments. Just for the record, there were 4 microlights and I am told that they came right down almost to ground level. I did not see them myself but these were not guys just over-flying the game farm. Microlights frequently fly over here and no one is complaining about that. So let's just keep it that way. Incidentally, the owner is ex-SAAF and has an interest in sport aviation.

Bear in mind that our WHS status means that the Cradle's Management Authority gets many ridiculous complaints and proposals which they are obliged to investigate and which we as residents have to fight tooth and nail! Nobody is objecting as yet to Microlights flying over here at 500ft so I repeat, let's keep it that way by showing concern for the game farm owners very real concerns.

By the way, when I suggested an apology, I have no interest in names, I had intended to pass on the apology to the owner without identity.

There were microlights in that area that were used by some game farms in a combined anti poaching project last weekend.Maybe they did not notify everybody....

Mmmmm . . . . Cradle WHS area, 4 microlights, almost at ground level . . . I could take a pretty good guess!

I think a quiet chat over a beer with the chaps would do wonders

Something that has become apparent of late .... what has happened to "hangar talk" at airfields and clubs?

Ahg, No problem, I will pay the 10 Million fine and fly where I want to.

[kwk]

I checked all the Rietfontein guys and none were flying that morning.
Chainsaw and I flew to Parys that afternoon.
Generally we do not fly over the cradle area at all unless routed by FALA ATC and then at 5500ft asl
