Special Important Note:
An Aerobatic Box has been assigned at the airport,

The box is demarcated on the ground with white
markers and is one kilometer square.
It is VERY IMPORTANT to call on the FAVV frequency on approach to the
airfield (FAVV zone is 5nm radius) to confirm whether the aerobatic box
is active. When active, all aircraft approaching should join from the western
side of the airfield and refrain from joining overhead. Runway 03 then be-
comes a left-hand circuit.
FUEL (Both AVGAS and Jet A1) is available at the Airfield, but you should first
confirm the availability by phone.
To arrange for fuel or if you need to confirm the status at FAVV you can call

084-627-9950 or contact Colin Mokoena on 071 680 8783
Airport management is by the Sedibeng District Council, although it is usually
difficult to find anybody responsible in order to ascertain the status of the
airfield from them. Be careful on arrival since at times maintenance is
performed on the runways or the area close to the runways without any prior
notice either by NOTAMs or to any of the operators on the field. At such times
unmarked vehicles and workers may occupy sections of the runways randomly
and are also seemingly unaware of aircraft movement.
