What to do???
REAL ORCA, hi there - i agree completely with what you saying, u wanna train at FACT pay the premium....
However, the problem around Cape Town area is that there is no where else to train - yes ok FAFK, but that really is not a well maintained airfield and it might have its own frequency but certainly doesnt have any controlled airspace around it.
What we need in Cape Town is the equivalent of a mini FAGC or FAGM airport. Get some controlled airspace over a decent airfield and all the light a/c would be more than happy to move on... but where do they go...
If only FAYP would allow light a/c to train there, would be added benefit to both them and the light a/c but we all know that will never happen.
I wonder who owns FADX, right in the D200, wow would be a great little spot if that airfield was improved and given a little control tower?
Alas, the time will come when no more light a/c will be allowed to fly into FACT and then what happens???
Somehow somewhere someone should be planning for another or upgraded airfield in the Cape Town area. We really do need it.
