Once a year I take ICE to Cape Town International for her annual. This was a great day to fly in to Cape Town. Enjoy the ride with some ATC to keep you company
Hi Jude, you checking up on me. I always enjoy landing at Cape Town. The runway is super long, over 3km. I try fly as efficiently as possible so you will see two things, I ask the controller if I can ‘plan for Charlie’. That’s the second intersection which means I land deep so I don’t land on the numbers and taxi forever holding up departing traffic. Second thing is my flaps. My speed is higher than usual as I come in to approach on final, again just to be efficient. It’s too fast for full flaps, so I descend and fly just above the runway. As the speed bleeds off I then add flaps - you can see how late I put full flaps in the video. Hope you enjoying your flying and making great videos.
Let’s make a plan. That way I know your Dad will check her very very well. In fact when I bought ICE in the pre purchase inspection Damon said, ‘I would let me kids fly in it.’ Now I need to put that to the test 😁
Another great video, beautiful views and good background music.
Awesome videos. Well done
a further fantastic flight video! I will come back to Morningstar Airfield! BR Alex
Beautiful day, beautiful scenery, beautiful livery. What else could you ask for?... A free annual would be nice!! Thanks for sharing, Tim!
I’ll settle for a thorough annual. 🙂
Nice landing Tim this comment is from Jude

@@timothyirvine2842 Just let me know when you are planning on going up and i will be very keen on joining you. 😎
Timothy where is your home airport in the Cape?
It’s called Morningstar and it’s just to the north of CapTown international, in fact under the approach to runway 19.
