Thumbs up

YKAT is not such a bad strip!!! If you limit your opps to 0-10kts of wind then you take out the windshear problems and the rest is easy!

For the guys above who have put their two bobs worth in they might actualy want to go and land on the strip and see what its like or call Rob at Kat airstrip who teaches there (No. in ERSA). Yes a C310 does regular trips there from BK with a limited load with no problems and the main runway 24/06 is a lot better then some other ALA's.

If you know what your doing then no problems but do get checked out by someone who frequents the place, if you think you need a STOL with large tundra tyres and a turbine engine then stay away.

Just my two cents worth.
