Quandry is mild to say the least..

I flew pinedene last year when we first flew to FASK but then to say I hangared at Bapsfontein...was easier then...

I am going to do a bit of poking around and see what I come up with..

Well thanks for the help guys as always microlighters rule!!!!!!!!!!!! (^^) (^^)

From Kliprivier you can route towards Tedderfield then Orlando Power Station and then straight North in the corridor to Aero57 then east to Zwartkop.
We fly that route when we go south to Panorama and Teddefield.

Should not be a problem. From the Orlando Power sation to Aero57 there are lots of golf courses etc so we just follow them.

Cheers
That's the right route...at least, it's the one I would take if I was flying from Klip..... vhpy vhpy

Hi Guys. Rules same as last year

Aircraft that are flying in from the EAST must contact Waterkloof ATC to be routed through the Pinedene corridor. Once Waterkloof has passed you on to Swartkop you must follow their instructions. If no answer from SK please route to SK via the OLD JOHANNESBURG Rd.

Aircraft that are flying in from The West must route to SK via the Shell Ultra City along OLD JOHANNESBURG Rd to SK. Please follow the ATC instructions

Les

With Grand Central that extended their space and the new Pinedene route from the west is now along the N14 to the R55 intersextion (just east of Aero57). Ultra City is now in Grand Central space (**)

When flying from the west I presume we contact Grand Central and at Ultra City change to SK?

It seems that some of you are getting nervous. Whilst I was with Col. Sheperd this morning, he got a call from someone inquiring about the status of his documentation. Heh! Heh! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Breakfast is arranged for the hungry R35.00. =D*

s064 Please ensure that you have R50.00 for a donation to the museum fund. They very kindly afforded us this opportunity to use the base for this fly-in and the least we can do is to donate the amount to the preservation of our heritage. PLEASE GUYS!!! give with a good heart. I will be holding a hat on Saturday to collect -0<

Please remember...Those who forget past mistakes will be sure to repeat them in the future -xX

I do not have a fax number and thus did not enter it on the form. All the other guys got their clearances faxed to them. Who can I phone to get the clearance please.

Geez, Im really getting excited now! Planned my route this morning so I'm ready to go! First time into controlled airspace for me so here's hoping I dont screw something up! :lol:

I see on my clearance form that we need permission for camera equipment? I'm sure it will be ok for my PAX to catch some of the action?

Fly Safe guys!
