      Namibia, this country with the oldest desert in the world is not only home to the highest dunes in the world but it’s the only desert where you will find big mammals like the gemsbok and giraffe.

      These colourful ever-shifting sands are best observed from the air.

      It is always recommended to take a supply of water, some rations and a couple of space blankets with when flying over this incredible desert.

      In the event of a forced landing stay with the aircraft as the aircraft is easier to see from the air than a lone human.

      Scattered remains of a ship wreck in the mist on the Skeleton Coast

      The Skeleton Coast, stretching from Kunene to Swakop is littered with the wrecks of ships which the cold and treacherous Benguela current brought to an untimely death. Exquisite oryx and the rare brown hyena (strandwolf) call this stretch of arid land, home. Book a visit with a tour operator to the Northern section, the most attractive area of the park.

      AIRSTRIP OPS: When visiting a lodge or even an unmanned airfield, it would be advisable to do a runway inspection before landing. Avoid overflying and circling over lodges.

      The general frequency for air-to-air communication frequency in Africa is 126.9 MHz.

      COURTESY NOTES:

      SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: Always be alert and aware.

      PREPARATION: A little bit of time spent before the flight, doing good research of frequencies and procedures will save you a lot of time and embarrassment.

      As the holder of a SACAA pilots’ licence and associate privileges you are still bound by the SA CATS and CARs over and above the rules and regulations of the country you are operating your South African registered aircraft in.  Whichever regulation is the most restrictive applies.

      FLIGHT PLANS: The permit number must be indicated in field 18 of your flight plan.

      AIRMANSHIP: Be kind and considerate, not only in the air but on the ground as well.
